Linda Maxey

Her articles on interpreting music, artist and management, and the art of performing have appeared in Percussive Notes magazine.

"Music brings people of different cultures together- there is a bond and understanding that develops among musicians, and that's very important, especially in maintaining world peace," Maxey said.

Still, because it had remained isolated from contact with other nations, the country's music professionals had not necessarily experienced the advancements of the percussion world.

Linda Maxey can be heard on the soundtrack of the Kennedy Center's Children Opera, The Emperor's New Clothes (2002), on her solo CD The Artistry of the Marimba, as a soloist in Ney Rosauro's Concerto for Marimba with the Lithuanian St. Christopher's Chamber Orchestra in their CD Josef HAYDN, Nay ROSAURO, Carl NIELSEN, and on the CD XIII Festival de Musica de Figueira da Foz, Portugal.

In addition to Columbia Artists, Ms. Maxey has toured for Arts Midwest and Heartland Arts, the U.S. Department of Defense, and is on the artist roster of Innovative Percussion, Inc.[8] Maxey has arranged George Gershwin's legendary "Rhapsody in Blue" for marimba and piano for Alfred Music Publishing.
