This is a brand new project from Anna Webber! The nonet will be premiering a new set of music right before going into the studio to record.

Anna Webber (b. 1984) is a flutist, saxophonist, and composer whose interests and work live in the aesthetic overlap between avant-garde jazz and new classical music. Her music has been called “visionary and captivating,” (Wall Street Journal), and “heady music [that] appeals to the rest of the body” (NPR). In 2024 alone, she received the Herb Albert Award in the Arts, a Chamber Music America New Jazz Works commission, and was voted top of both the tenor saxophone and flute “Rising Star” categories in the Downbeat Critic’s Poll. She was additionally voted top of the Downbeat “Rising Star” arranger category in 2025.

This new work by Anna Webber and the Anna Webber Nonet has been made possible with support from Chamber Music America’s New Jazz Works program funded through the Doris Duke Foundation.
