Born in 1972 in Birmingham, England, Maric showed an early interest in music and began playing the piano at the age of six. He went on to study music at the University of York, where he earned a degree in composition. Maric's early works were heavily influenced by jazz and popular music, but he soon began to explore more experimental and avant-garde styles. His compositions often incorporate electronic elements, and he is known for his use of complex rhythms and harmonies. One of Maric's most notable works is his 2005 composition "The Elements," which was commissioned by the London Sinfonietta. The piece is a multimedia work that combines live performance with video and electronic soundscapes. It explores the four classical elements of earth, air, fire, and water, and features a range of instruments including piano, percussion, and strings. Another highlight of Maric's career is his collaboration with the renowned saxophonist John Harle. The two musicians have worked together on several projects, including the album "Art Music," which features Maric's compositions for saxophone and electronics. In addition to his work as a composer, Maric is also an accomplished pianist. He has performed his own works as well as those of other composers in venues around the world, including the Royal Festival Hall in London and the Sydney Opera House in Australia. Maric's music has been praised for its originality and innovation, and he has received numerous awards and commissions throughout his career. He was a recipient of the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award for Composers in 2008, and his works have been performed by some of the world's leading orchestras and ensembles.
