Anna-Wendy's distinctive sound is a product of classical expertise and traditional passion. These two strengths have opened many doors to Anna-Wendy both as an orchestral leader and as an internationally-travelled 'fiddler'.

Her early family surroundings were exceptionally musical, embuing Anna-Wendy with a broad perspective and love of the arts. She is the third generation in a line of composer/performers including her grandfather Ronald Stevenson and her aunt Savourna Stevenson.

After winning a scholarship to lead an orchestra in Texas, Anna-Wendy returned to her native Edinburgh to pursue her love for Scottish fiddling. Quickly snapped up by globe-trotting folk group Anam, she toured the US, Japan and Europe's major festivals.

She has since helped form all girl quartet Calluna, whose pure sound of flute, clarsach, fiddle and voice has graced many a festival, and trio Fine Friday with whom she has enjoyed great success.
