Anna von Hausswolff

Anna von Hausswolff is a Swedish singer-songwriter and composer, born in 1986, who has carved out a distinctive niche with her blend of neoclassical dark wave, drone, and art pop. Known for her hauntingly beautiful voice and the rich sound of the pipe organ, she creates music that often explores gothic themes. Her notable albums include "Ceremony" (2012) and "Dead Magic" (2018), both of which showcase her experimental approach and depth of emotion. Critics have praised her work, though it has also sparked protests from Catholic fundamentalist groups, highlighting the provocative nature of her art.

Performing at Brick & Mortar Music Hall, an intimate venue in San Francisco's Mission District, offers a fitting backdrop for von Hausswolff's atmospheric sound. With a capacity of just 200, the space allows for a close connection between the artist and the audience, making it an ideal setting for her evocative performances that often blend the ethereal with the visceral.
