Ana Schurmann

Ana Schurmann is a classical composer, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, researcher, philosopher, innovative designer, model, humanitarian, and artist in her twenties.

In 2025, she pioneered a new intersection between astrophysics and musical composition by becoming the first composer to scientifically translate gravitational-wave signals from the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA observatories into a “Scientific Universe Symphony,” utilizing a harmonic and chronological order method of signal extraction. A polyglot fluent in nine languages, she holds certifications from ITA and INAF, and she presented both her method and the symphony live at the IXI EFITA. Her multilingual and multi-genre contributions to music earned her a Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2023.
