Carambolage: "María Grand & Maya Keren (CH/USA)"

María Grand & Maya Keren (CH/USA)
María Grand: sax
Maya Keren: piano

A major all-female encounter between Geneva-born saxophonist, singer, and composer María Grand and emerging pianist Maya Keren, originally from Philadelphia and now based in Brooklyn.

The compositions, almost entirely original, weave together free improvisations and hyper-precisely written music: some inspired by María’s exploration of the human subconscious, others born from purely mathematical ideas, creating a virtuosic sound reminiscent of classic “straight ahead” jazz.

The duo tells stories of modern women with ancient roots, capable of unfolding in real time and revealing archetypes and futuristic wonders. The goal is never to play “correctly,” but to give free rein to experience, with all the risks and pleasures that come with it. Above all, the music focuses on what touches the human: sincere, intense, and intentional.

Event: Monday, December 1, 2025, at Piccolo Teatro Carambolage, starting at 8:00 PM.
