SUMMARY:Music In the Library: Calla Duo
DESCRIPTION:This event is free and open to all! No registration 
 required.\n\nThe Calla Duo is a Boston based ensemble dedicated to bringing 
 accessible classical music concerts to the community. Performing both 
 formal recitals and outreach performances\, the goal is always to challenge 
 new audiences to explore the world of classical music.\n\nAbout the 
 Artists:\n\nMaya Lynn is a violinist dedicated to the exploration of 
 cross-disciplinary studies\, and works to build programs exploring the 
 relationship between music and literature by bringing her background and 
 expertise in English Literature to the concert hall stage. Maya is 
 currently pursuing a Masters of Music in Violin Performance at Boston 
 University\, and holds a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance and a 
 Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from Boston University. Maya has 
 performed multiple lecture style recitals\, creating links between music\, 
 art\, and literature. In addition\, Maya has been featured as a soloist for 
 Northern Stage’s production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. Her 
 performance in the production was credited by the White River Valley Herald 
 as being “a treat of the evening … which knit together different scenes 
 in the production”. Maya collaborated with the artistic director to build 
 a soundscape for the production using violin masterpieces. \n\nMaya is 
 currently an active freelancer in the Boston area. She has performed with 
 orchestras such as the Rhode Island Philharmonic\, Cape Symphony\, New 
 Bedford Symphony\, Plymouth Philharmonic\, Portsmouth Symphony\, and is a 
 scholarship artist with the Boston Civic Symphony. Maya has studied with 
 renowned teachers such as Dr. Minju Kim\, Yuri Mazurkevich\, Dr. Minju 
 Kim\, Bayla Keyes\, Lucia Lin\, Kathy Andrew\, and Peter Rovit. She has 
 been coached by Simon James\, Lucia Lin\, and Nathan Giem and has performed 
 in masterclasses with Grigory Kalinovsky\, Sebastian Mueller\, James 
 Stern\, Alexi Kenney\, Kristin Lee\, and Lucy Chapman. When not performing 
 or practicing\, Maya enjoys reading\, baking and cooking\, spending time 
 with her family and siblings\, and watching the Great British Bake-off with 
 a mug of hot tea.\n\nAbby Hanna is a 23 year old cellist and vocalist\, 
 recognized for her versatility as a soloist\, orchestral musician\, and 
 chamber performer. She is currently pursuing a Master of Music degree in 
 Cello Performance at Boston University after earning her Bachelor of Music 
 degree on a full-tuition scholarship from the Eastman School of Music\, 
 where she studied under Steven Doane and Rosemary Elliott.\n\nAbby began 
 studying piano at age five and cello at age nine. Since then\, her musical 
 career has taken her from Austria to Argentina to stages across the United 
 States. Most recently\, she was awarded second place in the 2025 MIMA Young 
 Artist Competition in Los Angeles\, and received the 2023 New York 
 Federation of Music Award at the Chautauqua Institution in New York. She 
 has also served as principal cellist in symphony ensembles at both Eastman 
 and BU. In addition to being an active chamber musician\, Abby is also an 
 advocate for cultural representation in classical music. She helped 
 organize Eastman’s first Hispanic Heritage Recital\, featuring works by 
 Latin American composers and celebrating cultural inclusion through 
 performance. In recognition of her artistic and academic achievements\, 
 Abby was named the Eastman recipient of the 2025 Presser Undergraduate 
 Scholar Award. \n\nAside from playing the cello\, Abby is also a 
 classically trained soprano. She has received recognition in several 
 national and regional vocal competitions\, including Hal Leonard\, NATS\, 
 and Schmidt Vocal Arts. Shortly after relocating to Boston\, Abby was 
 appointed as a Choral Scholar at Marsh Chapel\, where she has frequently 
 appeared as a featured soloist with the choir. As an Ecuadorian-American 
 she is the first in her family to pursue a career in music\, and is very 
 grateful to her family and friends for their continuous support.
