Maya Beiser performs Terry Riley's iconic work In C as recorded on her bestselling 2024 album, with percussionists Jamey Haddad and Matt Kilmer.Beiser recreates the composition as a series of ever-evolving cello loops, constructing a hypnotic, rapturous soundscape that reenvisions this classic 1964 minimalist masterpiece.
As NPR puts it, 'This album is a musical journey for mind and body-both a stimulant and a sedative.
It offers many engaging stopovers, from an oasis of calm where the pulse evaporates, to Led Zeppelin–like headbanging reminiscent of 'Kashmir,' to moments where the cello loops interleave with the sweet delicacy of Vivaldi.
If you have a spare hour to let this singular, hypnotic music wash over you, the world might just seem a little brighter.'
Hailed by The Washington Post as 'the reigning queen of avant-garde cello,' Maya Beiser is a cellist, sound artist, and musical innovator whose work has redefined the scope of contemporary classical performance.
Raised on a commune in the Galilee Mountains of Israel by her Argentinean father and French mother, Beiser grew up immersed in the music and rituals of Jews, Muslims, and Christians-an early fusion of worlds that continues to shape her boundary-defying artistic vision.
A Yale graduate and United States Artists Distinguished Fellow, Beiser has performed on the world's most iconic stages, from Carnegie Hall to the Barbican, challenging norms and reinventing the solo cello as an expansive sonic canvas.
Her fifteen solo albums-many topping classical charts-span reimagined masterpieces, original works, and cinematic collaborations.
