For the past 10+ years, MAVerick Ensemble has performed a wide range of works, specializing in those works we love. We have performed piece written for over 30 musicians and numerous solo works. MAVerick has had many iterations, and the instrumentation of the works we have performed is quite diverse.

Commissions and premieres are indicated next to the work. We seek new audiences for maverick music.
