Maria Faust is a young saxophone player and composer, coming from the island of Saaremaa, Estonia. In 2002 she cut short her studies as a classical conductor at the Academy of Music in Tallinn to study jazz at the conservatory of music in Esbjerg, Denmark.
The music of Maria Faust is a mixture of many different styles drawing on the legacy of her Estonian roots, rock and jazz with emphasis on the band’s four horns. Her clever compositions have a clear structure and their complexity does not obstruct the underlying romanticism of the music.
Through concerts in Estonia and Denmark the orchestra has achieved a language that sounds at one moment like a Russian funeral march and the next like a runaway train heading for the unknown.
The challenging compositions of Maria Faust are performed by an orchestra consisting of experienced musicians with plenty of attitude and a desire to experiment.

Hi Maria! Greetings and best wishes From Kazhargan! Congratulations For Your Music! Wishing You Merry Christmas And Many Blessings For The New Year 2009!
Hello Maria, tak for sidst! :) I really enjoyed your performance last night in Århus, and thanks for finding me on myspace! I think it would be cool to visit Copenhagen with Siggi and Pauli in November, we'll see how it goes! I'll give you a call when I know about our plans, maybe we could make some music with some local players & hang out while we're there? take care & nice hearing you! -Martti
Olen praegu Eesti Muusikaakadeemias 3. kursus. Meil on tore kursabänd ja üldaineid pole palju, nii et mulle meeldib siin olla :) Tundub et dzässi scene jõuab Eestis iga aastaga kõrgemale tasemele, mis on ka tore, eks ole..
Hello, thank you for adding me, it is a joy for me to discover music as rich and inventive as yours :) I'll be listening often - I hope all is well with you! Best Wishes from England :) Les
Tere Maria, tore Sinust kuulda. Olen praegu just Ahvenamaal, eile oli siin kontsert. Kohtusin ka Sinne Eeg'iga, kes samuti siin esines, oli väga ilus kontsert :) Sinu tulevane vist ilmselt eestlane pole, niisiis saab sind tulevikus nähtavasti veel vähem kodumaal kohata... Aga peaasi, et 6nnelik oled, parimat!
Mmmmiks ei ole kuskil kirjas, millal sind kuulama saab tulla??=)(/&%¤# MIKS??? Miks ei ole?!!!! Tuleks hea meelega siit üle vee ja kuulaks su muusikat.Aga näed. Ei saa ju nii:) Südamlikud tervitused siit Skånest:)
Happy New Year! I BELIEVE in you and in all good things, I know that 2008 has wonderful things in store for you! Thanks again for your friendship... you are phenominal and a inspirational blessing to me! Have a amazing and adventurous new year!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be Well!
