Performers
Maria Winiarski
Viola

Maria Winiarski was born in Sweden, and grew up in Stockholm and Moscow. She studied violin and viola at the Royal College of Music, Stockholm, the Norwegian Academy of Music, Oslo and the Hochschule für Musik und Theater “Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy” Leipzig, as well as the chamber music institute Edsbergs Castle in Sweden. Maria is based in Berlin and performs extensively in leading chamber music ensembles and orchestras throughout Europe. She has played in orchestras such as the Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, the Norwegian Opera Orchestra, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Gävle Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Swedish Orchestra, Camerata Nordica and Norrlandsoperan Symphony Orchestra.
Kristina Winiarski
Cello

Kristina Winiarski made her professional solo debut at the age of 16 with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center of Performing Arts in Washington DC, USA. Since then, she has performed on stages alongside internationally acclaimed ensembles, including recent debuts with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. She has recorded for the BIS label, and her performances have been broadcast on medici.tv, Radio France, and the Swedish Radio P2.
Maria Forsström
Mezzo-Soprano

Maria Forsström is an alumnus of the Royal College of Music, Stockholm, Sweden, and is much appreciated for her soulful Mahler interpretations and her extremely intelligent musicianship, being equally at ease in a Lieder recital as on the opera stage. Her coloratura, her deep knowledge about style, and source reading makes her both the ideal Baroque singer, as well as an interpreter of the Romantic and modern composers. She is just as at home on the stage as she is as a conductor or vocal coach, for several of Europe’s most renowned choirs. Maria is a well-known artist for Bangalore audiences, and we are happy to welcome her back!
