Meet accomplished 18-year-old classical composer and conductor, Maya Miro Johnson.
There aren’t many 18-year-olds like Maya Miro Johnson. Originally trained as a dancer, a fated broadcast from Carnegie Hall inspired her next passion — music composition & conducting. Maya joined the National Youth Orchestra, and began attending a young composer’s workshop at the age of 14. Though she’s fond of the avant-garde, Maya says her favorite piece is the sound of the orchestra warming up.
