Annie Dodson is a cellist and composer born and raised in Portland, Maine. They grew up playing cello classically as well as in rock/folk/contemporary contexts, pursuing experimental electroacoustic composition and performance in college. They love playing in rock bands, and performing solo with cello and electronics. In addition to the cello, they play bass, guitar, mandolin, drums, and a little piano and banjo. They can’t wait to launch the new MAMMOTH strings program this fall, and hope to make orchestral students feel empowered in their instruments and on stage!
