Maureen May Biography

Maureen May is one of the most popular and richest Cellist who was born on September 22, 1962 in United States.

After 1988, May moved to Tennessee, where she started the Cumberland String Project—the program introduced strings and music education to an area that otherwise had no music education in the schools or community.

In the early 1990s, May moved to Central Florida, where she continued to teach strings, help her husband expand his burgeoning youth orchestras, and gave birth to two more children. As an accomplished cellist, May quickly joined the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra and the Bach Festival Orchestra. May was the orchestra director at Maitland Middle School and Winter Park High School, and also started the strings program at Park Maitland School. Despite a terrible car accident that threatened her career as a cellist and music teacher, she would also teach music at Millennium Middle School in Sanford, Florida and build a comprehensive strings program with Jonathan at Trinity Preparatory School, where she has worked for the last 10 years. She also performs with her own chamber group the Dolce Chamber Players and is a frequent performer at area events, including Walt Disney World’s Candlelight Processional. She has also performed in accompanying orchestras with many notable pop musicians such as Jimmy Page, Harry Connick Jr., Donny Osmond, Smokey Robinson, as well as famous tenors Luciano Pavarotti and Andrea Bocelli.

After Jonathan May’s passing in February, 2010, in addition to her own professional obligations May assumed some of the duties her late husband. Along with longtime family friend, colleague, and fellow conductor, Michael Miller, they comprised the artistic staff of the Florida Young Artists Orchestra and shared duties as co-Artistic Directors. The orchestra was founded by Jonathan after he left his position as Artistic Director of the Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra in 1998, and Maureen helped him form the new orchestra out of their living room, along with help of other parents, music teachers, and young musicians. Though the Orlando area already possessed one youth orchestra, Jonathan explained to the Orlando Sentinel about the need to form a new one: “What this is is a difference of philosophy. One is a strong musical director with a supporting board; the other is a weak musical director and a strong board calling the shots.” In what would become a foundation of their educational philosophy, the Mays insisted on strong musical direction in all their programs.

On May 14, 2011, Maureen and her children, as well as students of the MAYS and other area youth orchestras joined onstage the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra as they honored Jonathan May at its sellout final concert featuring violinist Joshua Bell. The world premiere performance of the piece, Tall and Small, a commissioned work by Jonathan’s brother, Daniel May, is named to reflect the wide impact May’s passion for music had on children and adults alike. The Make Music-Make History competition featured hundreds of students submitting YouTube auditions, with live audition recordings conducted by the MAYS. Seated at the front of the orchestra in front of the sellout audience, Maureen played the piece’s cello solo on Jonathan’s cello, with the music culminating in a resolution that the Orlando Sentinel described as “that moment when the sun emerges after a long stretch of rain.”
