The Anima Collective

Founded in 1998, Anima is an ever-evolving collective of the region’s top professional freelance artists under the artistic direction of professional flutist, Vanessa Holroyd. The ensemble’s mission is to provide creative, customized chamber music programming to compliment private and corporate events with mixed acoustic ensembles managed with meticulous detail. Anima ensembles have provided music at venues throughout New England, New York and Washington DC including events at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Fenway Park, the Isabella Gardner Museum, the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian Institute, and The White House, among others. Anima musicians may be seen regularly performing with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Pops, Emmanuel Music, the Boston Ballet, the Boston Lyric Opera, and the Grammy-nominated string ensemble: A Far Cry.
