At the age of 11 she was performing internationally, and at 13 became the youngest student to attend the prestigious National Musical Academy in Zagreb where she studied with Professor Istvan Romer.
Ana's reputation in Europe led to an invitation to study at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, USA, with Manuel Barrueco, from where she graduated in May 2003. At the age of only 23 Ana has won an impressive number of prizes and international competitions all over the world. These include first prizes in the Albert Augustine International Competition in Bath, England, the Fernando Sor competition in Rome, Italy and the Francisco Tarrega competition in Benicasim, Spain.
Other top prizes include the Eurovision Competition for Young Artists, the Mauro Giuliani competition in Italy, the Printemps de la Guitare in Belgium and the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York.

Her international performance career includes recitals in London, Paris, Vienna, Salzburg, Rome, Budapest, Warsaw, Tel Aviv, Oslo, Copenhagen, Toronto, Baltimore, San Francisco, Houston, Austin, Dallas and St. Louis.

In Croatia she has performed with the Zagreb Soloists and the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra and with Symphony Orchestra of the Croatian Radio and Television, as well as having been featured in three television documentaries by the eminent Croatian film director Petar Krelja.

Ana Vidović na 3. Epidaurus festivalu
Ovogodišnja edicija Epidaurus festivala dovesti će u pleter svojih prekrasnih ambijenata hrvatsku proslavljenu gitaristicu Anu Vidović. Biti će to povratak jedne od najmlađih svjetskih gitarističkih virtuoza u Dubrovački kraj nakon punih deset godina kad je zadnji put nastupila na Dubrovačkim ljetnim igrama (1999.), a ujedno i prvi njen nastup u najjužnijoj općini Hrvatske.
Rođena je u Karlovcu 1980. Gitaru je počela svirati u petoj godini inspirirana svirkom svog brata Viktora Vidovića čiji je talent izmamio ovacije na prošlogodišnjem Epiduarus festivalu (2008.). Već u 11. godini nastupa u internacionalnim razmjerima, a s 13 upisuje Glazbenu akademiju u Zagrebu kao najmlađi student te institucije.
Studira u klasi Ištvana Romera u Zagrebu, te Manuel Barrueca na Peabody Konzervatoriju u Baltimoru (SAD). Pobjednica je zavidnog broja internacionalnih nagrada diljem svijeta, a ističu se: (Italija), Fernando SorFrancisco Tárrega (Španjolska), Mauro Giuliani (Italija), Printemps de la Guitare u Belgiji, te Young Concert Artists International Auditions u New Yorku. Vidović za sobom broji već preko tisuću koncerata u najprestižnijim dvorana svijeta, te na poznatim gitarističkim i drugim festivalima u Rimu, Beču, Parizu, Londonu, Salzburgu, Varšavi, Tel Avivu, Oslu, Kopenhagenu, Budimpešti, San Franciscu itd.
Njen izvanredni talent i fascinantne glazbene sposobnosti doveli su je u sam vrh glazbene elite današnjice.
