Born in 2017, Maria Boyko is a young and promising musician from the South of France. She loves playing the alto saxophone and piano, as well as singing and dancing. Although her father once hoped she would play the violin, Maria chose the saxophone - an instrument that quickly became her true voice.
Maria studies at the Conservatory of Nice, where she has shown remarkable progress, advancing two academic years ahead of schedule thanks to her fast learning and dedication.
She has already taken part in several international competitions, earning high recognition:
- 2025 - 1st Prize, Andorra Sax Fest, Category A
- 2024 - 2nd Prize, Saxophone Competition in Meylan, France, Category Preparatory
Maria’s teachers include:
- Saxophone: Alberto Chaves Zamora
- Piano and Vocal: Olga Nordors
Maria regularly performs at concerts and cultural events, where she gains valuable stage experience. She enjoys the excitement of performing before an audience, supported always by her proud father both backstage and in the crowd.
She also loves jamming with other musicians, learning from shared practice and collaboration. At times, Maria performs spontaneously in public - simply for the joy of sharing music. Her dedication and charisma have inspired many; one of her street performances on piano has reached three million views on YouTube.
For three years, Maria sang in a children’s church choir, performing a cappella in four-part harmony, where she often took the alto voice. This experience helped her develop a strong sense of harmony and pitch accuracy.
