BIOGRAPHY
Anna Dagmar is a New York-based pianist, conductor, singer-songwriter and educator. She has five albums of original music, including her new album, Rhapsody. 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 keyboardist, music director and/or vocal coach for Broadway  productions including &Juliet, Hadestown, and Waitress. Additional theater credits include Antigone in Ferguson, Nightingale in the Tower and Mata Hari. 

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 teaches orchestra, chorus, and general music at the Osborn School in Rye, NY. She holds an M.A. in Conducting and Music Education from Hunter College and a B.M. in Jazz Performance and Music Education from the Eastman School of Music. She lives with her husband and 11-year-old daughter in New York.
