Ana Silvera: Women Make Music

With a packed out concert at the Purcell Room, and a recent performance on BBC Radio 3, singer-songwriter Ana Silvera’s star is in the ascent. Ana has been collaborating with the cream of the crop on both sides of the Atlantic. Her first single, ‘Hometown’ was recorded in New York with Maxim Moston (Antony and the Johnsons), and she has gone on to collaborate with Ray Singer (Joan Armatrading, Peter Sarstedt) in London.

Ana’s songs are inspired by and draw upon her own eventful life, as well as referencing mythical and historical tales for her lively narratives. A London-born multi-instrumentalist, Ana was commissioned to write a new work by director of the Roundhouse, Marcus Davey. Her song cycle “Oracles” for choir and strings was premiered in February 2011 at the Roundhouse Studios.
