Maya Fisher

Maya Fisher was born and raised in Newport News, Virginia, and has been a musician ever since joining her middle school band at twelve years old. She is passionate about making music more accessible through means of education and communal efforts, particularly for historically excluded populations.

Throughout her time at George Mason University and at the Frost School of Music, she was a member of the university orchestras, symphonic bands, and chamber ensembles. She has had the opportunity to perform with or under artists such as Maestro Gerard Schwartz, Renee Fleming, Anthony and Demarre Mcgill, and Andy Hudson.

Maya worked for the Center for the Arts at George Mason University and with the Mason Community Arts Academy. Most recently, she was a data manager at the Greater Miami Youth Symphony. In her spare time, she is an independent music curator who works as a freelance writer and project artist and an active freelance clarinetist.
