Ana Vidovic

Ana Vidovic’s extraordinary talents have established her among the elite musicians of the world. She is known for her beautiful tone, precise technique, well-defined phrasing and thoughtful artistry and musicianship.

Ana Vidovic’s performances include recitals, concerto engagements and festival appearances in most of Europe’s cultural destinations and major concert venues in Amsterdam, Brussels, Budapest, Copenhagen; and many cities in Germany, London, Oslo, Paris, Rome, Salzburg, Vienna, Warsaw and Zagreb. Her tours have also taken her to Australia, Brazil, Israel, Japan, Korea, Mexico and Spain. Equally impressive is her recording career which includes a new release by Octave Records, a live performance with works by Bach, Giuliani, Mangore, Scarlatti and Sor.

She has won an impressive number of prizes and international competitions including first prizes in the Albert Augustine International Competition in Bath, England, the Fernando Sor competition in Rome and the Francisco Tarrega competition in Spain. In Croatia, Ana has performed with the Symphony Orchestra of the Croatian Radio and Television, as well as having been featured in three television documentaries by the eminent Croatian film director Peter Krelja. Ana Vidovic started playing at age 5 and became the youngest student at age 13 to attend the National Musical Academy in Zagreb where she studied with Professor Istvan Romer. This led to her being invited to study with Manuel Barrueco at the prestigious Peabody Conservatory.

IGF is celebrating 30 years with a number of concerts by artists who have played a defining role in our history. The Albert Augustine Memorial Competition was IGF’s first major international competition and also Ana’s, winning it in 1995 at a mere 14 years of age launched her international career. We are delighted and proud to have her headlining the festival!
