Biography
Anna Ramzy is an Irish-Egyptian composer, singer, multi-instrumentalist and sound designer with a 1st Class Honours Bachelor of Music Degree from Ulster University and a Diploma in Music Performance from London College of Music.
Currently she is Ulster Touring Opera's first Composer in Residence. Supported by The Arts Council of Northern Ireland and National Lottery's 'Minority Ethic Artists Mentoring and Residency Programme', Anna has received mentoring from renowned artists Greg Caffrey, Giselle Allen and Dafydd Hall Williams. She has also received tutoring in Composition from Oliver Searle, Tom Wilson and Stuart MacShae at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
As a soprano, Anna has been singing classical, jazz, blues, folk and musical theatre from the age of 11. She has performed in numerous choral and solo concerts throughout her education. Notable highlights include performing at Ulster University seasonal concerts, the Flax-Trust-Inter-Community School's Award, Ballymena Festival, Northern Ireland Hospice Services and with Barry Douglas and Camerata Ireland.
Anna's latest composition is based on Oscar Wilde's 'Lady Windermere's Fan'; a short opera work in collaboration with Ulster Touring Opera. In July 2024 this piece was workshopped in Queen's University Belfast's 'Sonic Arts Research Centre' with the Hard Rain Soloist Ensemble and opera singers Anna Gregg and Eoin Foran. It was then further developed in August 2024 at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with expanded instrumentation and performed by the RCS Ensemble.
