Maja Siemińska

Vocalist, painter. She’s been singing since childhood with the voice range reaching today five octaves. At the time she lived in the North Africa and the US, which both influenced her rich vocal emission skills, from melismata and old music fascination, through ethnic and improvisational performances to progressive rock and modern classic.

She also recorded vocals for “Pentral” by Jacaszek and “Kompleta” by Stefan Wesolowski. All the releases received great reviews in Poland and abroad.

She composed a perfomative suite “The Shipyard Psalms” for The European Solidarity Centre as a musical form of Gdańsk Shipyard women’ stories. She’s also got a rich experience performing old liturgical pieces as gregorian passions, canticals, psalms. She’s a soprano in Nicomodia Quartet in that genre and different choral ensembles. She currently works on a new album of psalms in hebrew.
