Anastasia Shumanova graduated from the Shebalin Omsk Music College (class of Natalia Statkevich) and the Mussorgsky Ural State Conservatory (class of Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov) majoring in Choral Conducting. She has been the musicAeterna choir artist since 2018.
From 2006 to 2009 she worked as a choir artist at the Yekaterinburg Opera and Ballet Theatre (presently — Ural Opera Ballet). From 2009 to 2018 she performed in the Sverdlovsk Philharmonic choir conducted by Andrei Petrenko. As a soloist in the All-Night Vigil by Sergei Rachmaninoff she took part in the choir’s tours in Denmark and France. In the same period, she was a member of the Fleurs-De-Lys ensemble (directed by Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov).
In 2017, with the performance of the first alto part in Coro by Luciano Berio, the singer began her collaboration with the musicAeterna choir and her participation in the European tours of the collective.
In 2018, she became a full-time member of the choir.
