A Journey Through Moldovan Heritage and Improvised Soundscapes

Ana Everling is a vocalist and storyteller whose artistry bridges the rich traditions of Romanian folklore from Moldova with bold originality and a love for improvisation. Drawing inspiration from her heritage, Ana creates music that is entirely her own—an innovative fusion of ancestral echoes and modern expression. Her performances invite listeners into an immersive experience where every moment feels both timeless and new.

Her journey as an artist reflects resilience and passion: from studying music in art schools in the Republic of Moldova to busking on the streets of Chicago, and now performing to sold-out audiences across the United States. Ana’s dedication to preserving and reimagining Moldovan music is exemplified in her advocacy for the freeform genre of “Doina,” a deeply expressive musical form at risk of fading into obscurity. For her exceptional contributions to culture and her role in promoting Moldova’s heritage abroad, Ana was honored with the prestigious title of Artist Emerit by the President of Moldova.
