Maria’s new work for large, flexible ensemble, the Me you See, premiered on Saturday, April 20 at the Longy School of Music as part of the New Gallery Concert Series’ season finale. The work invited audience members to fully immerse themselves in the theme of the event, to “adopt and adapt.”

Premiering a new project is like wearing your soul on your sleeve while hoping that nothing breaks. In May, I had the pleasure/intense pressure (self inflicted) of premiering a brand new project at the i=u festival of Open Senses UK in London! I've been super jazzed about participating in the festival ever since my Eastman friend, Eugene, called about a year ago to start brainstorming!
