About

Catya Maré has been playing the violin all her life (first concert as a soloist with an orchestra at the early age of 10 years old, teachers a.o. Prof. Zakhar Bron and Prof. Ana Chumachenco), playing solo concerts as a classical violinist in the USA, Israel, Scandinavia, Germany, at festivals (Schleswig Holstein Musikfestival, Santander Music Festival).....has received numerous scholarships (such as Stipendium der Münchner Orchesterakademie, Stipendium der Rotarische Gesellschaft Hamburg, Konzerte Junger Künstler) has been holding the position of an alternating concertmaster with a big scandinavian symphony orchestra (Aarhus Symfoniorkester).... and then found out that there were other possibilities, this wasn´t enough....
One day, in 2005, when recovering from a bad influenza and starting to play the violin again, she became aware of the fact, that she was playing something she never had heard or seen before. ESSENTIAL IMPRO! Music arising from the moment! A quite unusual thing for a classical musician. Since then she does perform at Museums of Modern Art (National Galerie Berlin, Kunsthaus Zürich, ARoS (DK), Leopold Museum Wien, Miami Bass Museum of Art etc), at churches, shows and does collaborate with dancers and painters.
January 2006 she left the orchestra in order to devote herself to her own music.

In February 2006 she started to compose songs, where her violin is the primary voice. It´s a completely new style of playing the violin (or better: singing it...) a breathing and vibrating sound, which resembles more the female voice than a usual violin.....Her songs have been broadcasted at 90 international radio stations, receiving the most amazing reviews and are placed on TV shows / Hollywood films....
in April 2007 Catya Maré won the Sonicbids Contest resulting in a non-exclusive publishing deal with the US music publisher Noteborn Music.
In September Catya´s song "It Came True" has been featured in the film "BUTTERFLIES IN THE WIND" (Vic Alexander, Hollywood) at the Ava Gardner Film Festival in North Carolina, and in November 2007 her music videos, CLOUDS and LIGHT LONGING will be aired on the international spiritual talk show "Bridging Heaven & Earth" (Santa Barbara, California).

When not performing concerts/shows Catya Maré does compose produce / record her own music. LIGHT LONGING, the debut album, has been released in January 2007 and her second cd, CLOUDS, in December 2007. In February 2008 she got signed by the independent record label Spectra Records (USA), who will distribute both of her albums and release the third.

November 2008 she was nominated for the prestigious Hollywood Music Award and in February 2009 Catya Maré won the Billboard World Song Contest.
