Romanian pianist Ana Silvestru has established herself as a distinctive voice on the international classical music stage, acclaimed for the emotional depth of her interpretations. Her career spans prestigious solo and chamber performances across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, including appearances at Tonhalle Zürich, Bunkamura Orchard Hall Tokyo, St. Martin-in-the-Fields London, Gedächtniskirche Berlin, and the Romanian Athenaeum.
Celebrated for her versatility and artistic integrity, Ana Silvestru has collaborated with world-renowned musicians such as Alina Cojocaru, Johan Kobborg, Rainer Seegers, Fabio di Casola, Quinn Kelsey, Olga Kulchynska, Liviu Prunaru, Thomas Grossenbacher, among many others. She developed interdisciplinary performances that integrate music, film and literature.
In 2021, Ana founded the Ana Silvestru Classics Association in Zurich — a cultural initiative aimed at fostering excellence in music education in Romania through masterclasses, concerts, and cultural exchange. The association’s most significant achievement to date has been the invitation and successful appearance of Rainer Seegers, legendary solo timpanist of the Berlin Philharmonic, for a historic series of masterclasses and performances in Romania. His presence marked a major moment in the cultural dialogue between Romanian young musicians and one of the most accomplished pedagogues of our time, and it affirmed the association’s mission to bring top-tier international mentorship to young Romanian students.
Ana’s discography includes the audiobook “Fremd bin ich eingezogen, fremd zieh’ wieder aus” (Schubert’s Winterreise, 2015) and the solo piano album “Irresistible Dreams of a Pianist” (Requiem Records, 2016), both widely praised for their artistic refinement and narrative strength.
A graduate of the Zurich University of the Arts and the National University of Music Bucharest, Ana studied under Konstantin Scherbakov and Viniciu Moroianu, and was mentored by distinguished artists such as Lazar Berman, Dmitri Bashkirov, Daniel Fueter, Larissa Gergieva, Bernard Ringeissen, Fabio di Casola, Radovan Vlatkovic.
With a career rooted in both artistic excellence and cultural responsibility, Ana Silvestru continues to inspire audiences and students alike through her performances, initiatives, and ongoing dedication to music as a transformative force.
