“it’s easier to imagine the end of the world…” 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.

A livestream will be available free of charge at 8pm on the day of the performance and archived for future viewing.

Anna Webber 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). She is a recent recipient of the Herb Albert Award in the Arts, a Chamber Music America New Jazz Works commission, and has been voted top of the tenor saxophone, flute, composer, and arranger “Rising Star” categories in the DownBeat Critic’s Poll.
