I decided that I wanted to explore all kinds of music with my cello, not just the Western classical tradition. I just wanted to try and expand my vocabulary and bring that different kind of music to my audience.

From Maya Beiser

Post-minimalism implies music that's genre-less. Minimalism was very important because it came at a time when contemporary music had become so complex, so experimental and detached that people turned away from it. Minimalism broke that trend and brought music back to the people.

From Maya Beiser

It's wonderful when music is intellectually stimulating. But ultimately it has to be a visceral experience.

From Maya Beiser

A person can do a lot of reading and research as I have done. I went to Spain and spent a whole summer there with my family, immersing myself in the culture. But all that isn't really necessary to experience the music.

From Maya Beiser

'Provenance' is more than a multimedia concert. It's a journey that unifies cultures through music, theater and beautiful visuals.

From Maya Beiser

I was a rebel and I wanted to do something that nobody else did, and nobody else played the cello. Also, I was also a small kid and I liked the fact that it was big.

From Maya Beiser

I grew up in a kibbutz in the Galilee, but we were surrounded by Arabic villages, so I heard all these sounds and all this music. My father was very close friends with one of the Bedouin tribes, so I would always go there, to weddings, and I was always very fascinated by that music.

From Maya Beiser

I'm interested in music that happens now and that relates to our lives now.

From Maya Beiser

I was always a rebel in the sense that I always wanted to go my own road and do something that nobody else has done.
