• Notes from Under the Piano #21 – Thank You for All Your Good Work
    Aug 8 2023

    It was the summer of 2015 when Maestro Maull had an awestruck, chance encounter with Congressman John Lewis while on vacation in San Diego. Not only did he learn for the first time about “ComicCon” and why Congressman Lewis was in attendance, but he also received an amazing gift from the Congressman when he returned home. Hear all about it in this final episode of Notes from Under the Piano.

    Launched in 2020, Notes from Under the Piano is a video and podcast series of 21 episodes in which Maestro Maull shares personal stories about his life as a performer, conductor, and music educator. We learned about Maestro Maull’s life from the time he was a child, reclined under his mother’s piano as she practiced, to becoming an adult who passionately shares classical music listening with others.

    We are pleased to have been able to share these stories with you, and we are most grateful for our sponsors who made it possible:
    💛 Lead Sponsors: Judy Musicant & Hugh Clark and The Kosloski Family Foundation
    💛 Major Sponsors: David & Ellen Williams
    💛 EQ Promotional Sponsors: Brandon & Carol Clark

  • Notes from Under the Piano #18 - Come On Down!
    May 24 2023

    In this video podcast episode, Maestro George Marriner Maull talks about when he first met his wife Marcia in the late 1970s. He was enamored not only with her masterful skills as a pianist, but also her love of puzzles and games. Marcia especially enjoyed watching “The Price Is Right,” and she got tickets to the show in August 1982. Both George and Marcia were called to be contestants, and you won’t believe what they won … and still use to this day!
