Maya Homburger

Maya Homburger, born and educated in Switzerland, moved to England in 1986 to join J.E. Gardiner's English Baroque Soloists and other period instrument groups.

Ever since meeting the composer and bassist Barry Guy, she has devoted her time between managing his various ensembles, running their CD label MAYA Recordings and specialising more and more on chamber music and solo performance.

The idea to perform baroque solo works in the context of free improvised and New Music, sparked off the Homburger/Guy Duo. Together Maya Homburger and Barry Guy have given concerts in many major Jazz, New Music and Baroque Music Festivals all over Europe.

After living in Ireland for nine years where they contributed both to the early as well as the contemporary music scene, they have moved to Switzerland in 2004.

Recent recordings include the Duo CDs “Ceremony” (ECM) and “Dakryon” (Maya Recordings), Bach/Guy solo works (Maya Recs.) and “Folio” (ECM) where she appears as violin soloist together with the Munich Chamber Orchestra. The latest Homburger/Guy Duo CD has appeared on the Intact Records Label and is called “Tales of Enchantment”.
