Meera Maharaj enjoys a diverse performing career throughout the U.K and beyond. In 2017, she graduated from Royal Northern College of Music with first class honours, having studied with Wissam Boustany, Juliette Bausor and Laura Jellicoe. Previously, she spent six years at the Junior RNCM.
She’s currently studying for her Masters with Michael Cox and Sam Coles at the Royal Academy of Music. She received a generous entrance scholarship supported by Sir Elton John, and Countess of Munster Musical Trust and Help Musicians UK Postgraduate Awards.
Her competition successes include first prize in the RAM Flute Competition and 3rd prize in the British Flute Society “Young Artist” Competition. In 2016 she won the Dutch International Flute Competition and she gained 2nd prize in the RNCM Woodwind Prize. Meera is a keen chamber musician and she is currently a Tunnell Trust Young Artist alongside her duo partner – Dominic Degavino. She strongly feels that outreach work is equally as intrinsic and her flute/guitar duo is on the Live Music Now Scheme.
Meera recently won a place in the Pro Youth Philharmonia and has enjoyed playing with RNCM and RAM ensembles. She was on the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra’s Professional Experience Scheme. In addition, she enjoys improvisation, frequently incorporating this discipline into recitals as well as collaborating with other art forms. Jazz and music from across the world is also of great interest to her.
Meera has given solo performances at the Concertgebouw, Bridgewater Hall, Wigmore Hall and St James’ Piccadilly with frequent recitals across the UK. Orchestral performances have taken her to Cadogan Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Royal Albert Hall and Snape Maltings. She believes that using music to help charities is of great importance and she has organised annual concerts in aid of her local Foodbank.
Meera loves solo performance, chamber music and orchestral playing, hoping to incorporate these disciplines into her professional life.
