Anna Fraser has gained a reputation as a versatile soprano specialising predominantly in the interpretation of early and contemporary repertoire performing in a myriad of traditional and exploratory programs expertly demonstrating the versatility and virtuosity of a cappella singing. Anna is a graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, New England Conservatory (Boston) and furthered her studies in the Britten-Pears Young Artist Program.

Equally at home as a dramatist on stage presenting opera and historically informed chamber music, Anna is a great exponent of music education, directing and mentoring young singers with Moorambilla Voices, Gondwana Choirs and various scholar and school choir programs.
