Maria Schneider’s music, largely composed for her collective made up of many of the finest musicians in jazz today, has been hailed by critics as “evocative, majestic, magical, and heart-stoppingly gorgeous.” Blurring lines between genres, she’s received 14 GRAMMY nominations and 7 GRAMMY awards in jazz, classical, and for her work with David Bowie. Honors also include numerous awards from the Jazz Journalists Association, DOWNBEAT and JAZZTIMES, ASCAP’s Concert Music Award (2014), the nation's highest honor in jazz, “NEA Jazz Master” (2019), and election into the 2020 American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Her album, Concert in the Garden, featuring Donny McCaslin’s GRAMMY®-nominated solo, received the distinct honor of being inducted into the 2019 National Recording Registry.
