GIOVANA BERVIAN is a singer and instrumentalist, with classical and popular training, focusing her career in world music, instrumental music, and Brazilian popular music (MPB). She began studying music when still very young, and later studied classical guitar at Palestrina College, in Porto Alegre, Brazil. As a choral singer in Brazil and in Canada, she studied voice with sopranos Rosana Lofrano, Janet Smith, baritone David Wilson, and singer Anna Beaumont. Mixing her formal education both in classical and pop music, Giovana started her solo career as a singer in 2011. Her repertoire includes world music and bossa-nova classics. In 2013 Giovana was introduced to the work of Julio Munhoz, whose music compositions met her music style and reinforced her plans of recording an album with original songs, which resulted in the recording of their new album 'A COR DAR'. In film, Giovana composed and performed two music scores to the documentary film Portuguese Cultures in Edmonton, aired by OPTIK TV in Canada. The film was invited to be part of the 60th Feira Internacional do Livro de Porto Alegre (2014) and was officially selected to the International Short-Film Festival of Faro - FARCUME, Portugal (2015).
