Mayah Kadish

Event information

Violinist Mayah Kadish performs early music, new music, and many musics in between. For her performance at St John's College Auditorium Mayah Kadish will play a set of recently composed pieces in a programme that celebrates artistic exchange, friendship, and the development of new and shared musical languages. The programme is anchored around four pieces written for Mayah Kadish by Sarah Nemtsov, Sara Cubarsi, Timothy Cape and Elischa Kaminer. These pieces have been developed in collaboration with Mayah, drawing on her sound world and style of playing. As a result, much of her artistic personality is stitched into the fabric of these pieces, leading to a sense of freedom in performance.

Mayah is principle violinist of Berlin-based contemporary ensemble s t a r g a z e directed by André de Ridder and London-based contemporary group Ensemble x.y, and founding member of the baroque trio sonata group La Vaghezza. As concertmaster and sometimes soloist she has worked with the European Union Baroque Orchestra, La Tempête, Orchestra Controcorrente, Oxford Baroque, among others. Mayah has played as soloist in halls such as London's Barbican Centre (UK), Lisbon's Centro Culturel de Belem (PT), Cologne Philharmonie (DE), Lucerne Opera (CH), HKW Berlin (DE), Amsterdam Muziekgebouw (NL), Volksbuehne Berlin (DE), Sadler’s Wells (UK), TSB arena Wellington (NZ), Haarlem Philharmonie (NL) Wiesbaden State Theatre (DE).
