MARÍA GRAND & MAYA KEREN

María Grand tenor saxophone, vocals Maya Keren piano, vocals

A pair of exceptionally talented young musicians, each with a wide range of projects and collaborations, will present an exclusive repertoire in which they will convince of their deep artistic and human connection. María Grand is a tenor saxophonist originally from Switzerland and living in New York. In 2018, she was voted the best new artist in the critical poll of the influential magazine Jazz Times and was nominated for the Jazz Journalists Association Award for Emerging Musician of the Year. After all, it is no wonder that her debut EP TetraWind, released the year before, was named one of the best jazz debuts of the year by NYC Jazz Record and her first full-length album Magdalena was ranked among the ten best jazz albums of 2018 by Billboard magazine in the critics' rating.
