Masterfully blending the worlds of classical, pop and folk Anna’s music and alluring stage presence boast a mesmerising appeal, stacking up performances of note all over the country. As a solo artist Anna has toured NZ with famed Welsh tenor, Paul Potts performed at the likes of 'Coca Cola Christmas in the Park, Rugby World Cup, V8 Supercars, 'TSB Festival of Lights, Concert in the Orchard and Sunset Symphony to name a few. While she’s performed with various orchestras, one of the more humbling experiences was debuting her original ‘“Journey On” in front of 80,000 people with the Christchurch Symphony at ASB Classical Sparks in Hagley Park. An artist with many strings to her bow Anna’s also been pulled into the world of theatre at times, where she's had lead roles in Les Miserables, Chess, Jekyll & Hyde, Miss Saigon and most recently as ‘Christine’ in Ken Hill’s Phantom of the Opera' in Tokyo. “Divine” was recorded both in Warsaw and Israel, with esteemed Polish producer ‘Bzim’ Pawel Zarecki (Enya). Anna’s first introduction to him came when she recorded her previous album “Journey On “ with him. It was such a successful experience that she returned to Poland in 2015. Putting together a team of top Polish musicians, Pawel Zarecki has produced an album that promises to bring to life classic and inspirational songs influenced by the “Divine” theme. It features arrangements of well-loved hymns such as, Amazing Grace, Be Thou My Vision, inspirational numbers, You Raise Me Up and Hallelujah plus stunning Christmas tracks including O Holy Night and Mary Did You Know. Of the more unique choices on the album are a song in Hebrew, Avinu Malkeinu ( which Anna first sang at a reception for the Israeli Ambassador) and a haunting rendition of O Come, O Come Emmanuel. “The album is a collection of songs people have been requesting me to record for a long time. It’s close to my heart and I love the restfulness in the music.”
