Mavy

At 22 years old, Mavy Ho-Le is undoubtedly an up-and-coming force to be reckoned with in the instrumental world. Her unique styles of performing combined with choreographed numbers makes her stand out from a traditional classical string setting. Inspired by Lindsey Stirling, Vanessa Mae, and the all female string quartet, BOND, Mavy features an eclectic mix of music during her sets (classical crossover, ethnic, dubstep, rock), alongside with provocative fashion that has raised the eyebrows of the classical community. Originally from Gorham, Maine, Mavy started off her classical endeavors by playing in the Osher School of Music Youth Ensembles. From there, she ventured off into the non-classical realm of music, experimenting with distortion pedals and electric violins at 11 years old. She started performing solo professionally at 17 years old, where her first ever gig was a critically-acclaimed phenomenon at Mayo Street Arts in Portland, Maine. After the success of her first show, she went on to win the 2022 Young Stars of Maine Prize as a part of Bay Chamber Music at the Rockport Opera House, deviating from the traditional classical route of that competition. Since then, she has performed domestically and internationally at renowned venues such as the Camden Opera House in Maine, the Mall of America in Minnesota, and the Hard Rock Cafe in Copenhagen. She is also the current concertmaster of the Bates College Orchestra. On top of managing a successful musical career, Mavy is currently in the process of putting together her first record while finishing her final year at Bates College, balancing a pre-med track and neuroscience major.
