Anna Aldins

Anna Baiba Aldins is a graduate student at the Yale University Department of Music, with interests in ancient music, the history of music theory, and computational musicology. Her research examines the musical connections between sections of the global ancient and medieval worlds, in part through tracing variations in traditional song collections and the application of computational methods to the corpus of Greek music. Anna was the recipient of Yale's Keggi-Berzins Fellowship for Baltic Studies in the summer of 2023, with which support she became a researcher at the Latvian National Library in Rīga during the 150th anniversary of the Latvian National Song Festival. Outside of her research, Anna is also an active performer – she grew up singing with Boston’s Latvian community and has sung with the New York Latvian Concert Choir since early 2023.
