Maya plays on a 1710 Alessandro Mezzadri violin made in Ferrara, Italy, currently on a 10-year loan. When not playing the violin, she enjoys cooking, hanging out with friends, and spending time with her dogs Cocoa and Sophia. Upcoming engagements include concerto appearances and solo recitals throughout Mexico, China, Japan, and the US.

Pianist Ray Kilburn maintains a successful performing and teaching spanning the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Europe, and Asia.

Currently on faculty at Ball State University School of Music, his students have distinguished themselves through winning prizes in national and international competitions and obtaining faculty positions at colleges and universities around the world.
