BIOGRAPHY
Anna Dagmar is a New York-based pianist, conductor, singer-songwriter and educator. She is the Assistant Conductor of the Hunter Symphony Orchestra and Symphony Scholar at Hunter College. She has four albums of original music and her forthcoming  album, Rhapsody, will be released in June 2024. While a jazz piano student at the Eastman School of Music, Dagmar was inspired by the sounds of chamber ensembles echoing through the halls. A budding songwriter at the time, she expanded her compositions to feature strings and woodwinds. Experience with orchestration complements her current focus on conducting.

Dagmar has worked as a pianist, music director and/or vocal coach for theatrical productions including Hadestown, Waitress, Antigone in Ferguson, Nightingale in the Tower and Mata Hari. Her newest singles, “You Bring Out the Child in Me” and “Rhapsody,” premiered digitally during Fall 2023.

Dagmar made her Broadway debut in 2017 as a sub Pianist and Conductor for Sara
Bareilles’ musical Waitress. Her original song, “Mercy,” was commissioned by The Canales Project and performed at the National Gallery in 2018 and at the Public Theater in 2019. “Mercy,” honors the work of Sister Marilyn Lacey and Mercy Beyond Borders, a foundation with supports women and girls through education and business training in war-torn or impoverished regions of South Sudan and Haiti.

Dagmar is a two-time Gold Prize winner of the mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest, a National Kerrville New Folk and Rocky Mountain Folk Festival finalist, and a composer in the BMI Advanced Musical Theater Writing Workshop. She is a member of Maestra, an organization that provides support, visibility and community to the women who make the music in the musical theater industry.

An energetic and creative educator, Dagmar served as composer in residence for several years at Nightingale-Bamford School and has also taught at Mamaroneck High School and Sonatina International School of Piano in Bennington, VT. She holds a B.M. in Jazz Performance and Music Education from the Eastman School of Music and will earn her M.A. in Conducting and Music Education in 2024 at Hunter College. She lives with her husband and 9-year-old daughter in New York.
