Maya Bennardo

composer
Written By Beth Beauchamp

Maya Bennardo (she/her) is an active performer, improviser, and composer based in Stockholm, Sweden. Maya's music is characterized by slow, unfolding timbral movements--exploring the co-existence of pitch and noise. Her compositions have grown naturally out of her improvisational practice on the violin, and the two continue to inform each other. This season Maya is writing new works for NoExit + andPlay, Lamnth, and Alkemie + Amanda Gookin.  

As a performer, Maya is interested in opening the dialogue and blurring the boundaries between composers and performers and is devoted to performing music of the present. She is a founding member of the violin/viola duo andPlay, described by I Care If You Listen as “enthusiastic champions for new music and collaboration.” She is a member of Mivos Quartet and also performs new and traditional repertoire for violin and piano with pianist Karl Larson in the Bennardo/Larson Duo. //www.mayabennardo.com
