DESCRIPTION:
Since last year's release of debut album, 'The Aviary', London-born singer-songwriter Ana Silvera's mesmerising voice and mythic songs have enthralled an ever-growing band of fans and critics alike. Recorded in both New York and London and featuring arrangements from Maxim Moston (Antony and the Johnsons), the collection of songs has been described as 'hauntingm grown-up fairy tales' (Metro) and 'a stunning album' (The Guardian). Mixing folk and classical strands with her own unique narrative style, Ana's choral song-cycle 'Oracles' was recently nominated for a British Composer's Award and performed as a sell-out joint headliner with Imogen Heap at The Roundhouse in 2012. As well as working on her own new album, Ana is currently creating a piece with dancers from the Royal Ballet to be premiered in the 2014/15 season.
