(BA in Slavic Regional Studies and Music, Barnard College, 2003) is interested in music in diaspora, particularly in processes of nostalgia and ideologies of authentic experience. Her undergraduate research focused on music of post-Soviet Ukraine, post-Communist Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary and the former Yugoslavia, culminating in a thesis on appropriations of folk symbology in post-Soviet Ukrainian rock and avant garde festivals. Currently, she is focusing on the Ukrainian diasporas of Brazil and Argentina. In addition to her ethnomusicologial pursuits, Maria performs many kinds of music on the accordion, piano, and oboe.
