[1] Eva Sars studied singing for five years with her sister Mally and her brother-in-law, baritone singer and composer Thorvald Lammers.

[6] Her last public concert was in December 1899, when she performed the newly composed Haugtussa song cycle, based by Edvard Grieg on Arne Garborg's poems.

[1] She also contributed musically to gatherings in her mother's home, which before 1898 was a meeting place for liberals and intellectuals; it has been called "Christiania's first salon".

On this occasion she wore a somewhat challenging ski costume for the time, designed by Nansen and made by her, in which her skirt only reached slightly below the knees.

[11] Eva was portrayed by Veslemøy Haslund in the 1968 film Bare et liv – historien om Fridtjof Nansen, and by Lise Fjeldstad in the 1985 serial The Last Place on Earth.
