Anna Maria Friman from Gothenburg, Sweden, works as a freelance singer in project based chamber music ensembles as well as with choirs and orchestras. Many of her ensemble engagements include performances of different musical styles, crossing borders between early, folk, improvisation and contemporary music. With her regular groups Trio Mediæval, Friman-Ambrosini-Vicens Trio and Alternative History Quartet she has recorded 12 albums for ECM Records.
In 2010 Friman completed a Doctor of Philosophy in Music at the University of York, UK where she researched the modern performance of medieval music by women. She also taught singing and coached vocal ensembles at the University and further through the years she has enjoyed giving vocal masterclasses and choir/ensemble workshops at different academic institutions in Europe and USA, teaching at summer courses as well as coaching individuals and groups. From 2001-2015 she was a jury member at the vocal ensemble competition the Tampere International Choral Festival in Finland.
