Anna Sypniewski, a young violist from Toulouse, began studying the viola with Valérie Apparailly before joining the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris in 2016, where she studied with Jean Sulem. Anna Sypniewski then continued her training in Germany, in Leipzig, and at the Colburn School in Los Angeles with renowned violist Tatjana Masurenko. She later joined the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel, where she studied with Miguel da Silva.

Throughout her musical journey, Anna Sypniewski has taken part in several prestigious international academies, including the Verbier Festival Academy and the Villecroze Music Academy. There, she received guidance from internationally acclaimed artists such as Lawrence Power, Antoine Tamestit and Nobuko Imai. A laureate of the Gautier Capuçon Foundation, Anna Sypniewski is also supported by the Safran Foundation. At the age of 15, she won First Prize at the National Young Violists Competition, followed by the City of Ciboure Prize and the Grand Prize of the Ravel Academy.

A dedicated chamber musician, Anna Sypniewski regularly performs at leading concert halls and festivals in France and abroad alongside musicians of her generation as well as internationally renowned artists. Her engagements have included the Août Musical de Deauville, the Périgord Noir Festival, the Radio France Occitanie Montpellier Festival, La Folle Journée de Nantes, the Menton Music Festival, Schloss Elmau, Villa Albertine in New York, the Ohrid Summer Festival in North Macedonia, Salle Cortot in Paris and Wigmore Hall in London.

Together with her two sisters, Caroline on cello and Magdalena on violin, Anna Sypniewski founded the Sypniewski Trio. After meeting at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris in 2016, the three sisters decided to develop a long-term chamber music collaboration. They furthered their studies at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid in the class of Günter Pichler, while continuing their individual musical careers.

Through a repertoire spanning from the 17th century to contemporary music, Anna Sypniewski and the Sypniewski Trio explore the richness and versatility of the string trio repertoire. Their debut album, Origines, was released in spring 2026 on the Aparté label. The Sypniewski Trio is currently ensemble-in-residence at the Singer-Polignac Foundation.
