While there, she studied in the studio of Dana Mazurkevich as well as Yuri Mazurkevich, and performed frequently as a chamber musician with coaching from the Muir String Quartet. Anna particularly loves the study and performance of 19th century character pieces and enjoys fusing traditional classical repertoire with elements of jazz and romanticism to create a unique and accessible sound for her audience.
