Bringing classical music to unexpected places & amplifying minority voices.
Our Mission
MAREA is a Bay Area-based, genre-bending quintet where strings and voice collide in bold, dynamic ways. Rooted in classical tradition but driven by curiosity, they craft immersive, out-of-the-box performances and are committed to commissioning and performing work from underrepresented composers.
“Crafting such tight sonic stanzas that it seemed they were breathing as one…”
— Christina Waters, GoodTimes
