Anna Hueneke was born in Sydney in 1970 to father Klaus Hueneke and mother Caroline Josephs.[1] Anna is known for her unique approach to the artforms she creates combining her experience and training as a Visual Artist, Poet, Composer and Scholar.

While working in Canberra Anna created two painting performances, Artistories performed in 1997, and Wings from the Deep which she travelled to Bulgaria in 2003.[2] Anna created soundscapes combining spoken and sung texts (including her own poetry) and music, which she then painted in response to with her hands, onstage. Photos and videos of these performances are documented in her first doctorate.[3][4]

Since moving to Sydney in 2012 Anna has focused on writing poetry and setting it to music. She wrote Water, a longform poem in English, for her Master of Creative Writing at the University of Sydney completed in 2017.[5] Water is set on Sydney Harbour and is about love and memory. Anna performed Water with Inlay Ensemble, an improvising string ensemble, at Johnston Street Jazz in 2023.[6] The text and soundtrack of Water are available through the University of Sydney library.[7]

Anna has also written a series of song cycles in Classical Hebrew and English titled Songs of Fire. Anna sang songs from Songs of Fire in performances across Sydney and Adelaide from 2020 to 2023.[8] For this work writing poetry in Classical Hebrew, setting the poems to Jewish liturgical melodies and her own compositions and singing the songs, she was awarded the Cantor Michael Deutsch Award in 2023, one of only three people who have been granted this honour.[9]

Anna is currently working towards a Doctor of Musical Arts at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, composing a chamber opera for her text Songs of Fire and writing a philosophical thesis.[10]
