Anima Collective

Founded in 1998, Anima is an ever-evolving collective of the region’s top professional freelance artists under the artistic direction of founder and professional flutist, Vanessa Holroyd.

With over 25 years of experience sourcing and producing creative event entertainment, Vanessa’s extensive performance background informs every project. The Anima Collective’s mission is to provide creative, customized chamber music programming to compliment private and corporate events with mixed acoustic ensembles managed with meticulous detail.


Our ensembles have provided music at venues throughout New England, New York and Washington DC including events at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Fenway Park, the Isabella Gardner Museum, the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian Institute, and The White House, among others. 

Our musicians may be seen regularly performing with the Boston Pops, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Emmanuel Music, the Boston Ballet, the Boston Lyric Opera, Odyssey Opera, the Portland Symphony, the Rhode Island Philharmonic, the New Bedford Symphony, and A Far Cry among others.

Let’s work together.
