Dave Maric is a British composer of acoustic and electronic music who has created numerous works for the concert hall, stage, TV and film.

After graduating from City University, London, in the early 1990s, his noted abilities as a pianist (which combined classical training with explorations into various forms of jazz and improvisation) swiftly led to a diverse range of performance opportunities with, amongst others, Marc Ribot, Gunther Schuller, John Adams, BBC Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, London Sinfonietta, Steve Martland Band and numerous jazz and rock bands.

His first commissioned work, Trilogy (2000), a solo piece for the percussionist Colin Currie, inspired a number of new chamber commissions for classical soloists including violinist Viktoria Mullova and pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque. Katia Labèque also collaborated with Maric for a number of years on a live performance project, the Katia Labèque Band, which toured the UK and Europe on numerous occasions and released one album recording in 2004: Unspoken.

The Lucerne Festival, Radio France, and BBC Radio 3, amongst others, have also commissioned from Maric new works for Labèque, Mullova and Currie as well as L'Orchestre National de Montpellier, trumpeter Håkan Hardenberger and guitarist Fred Frith. Many of the works for Currie appear on the album recording Borrowed Time released by Onyx Classics in 2007.

2012 will see the premieres of two new major works; a concerto for trumpet and symphony orchestra for Ole Edvard Antonsen, and a concerto for percussion and chamber orchestra for Colin Currie.

Maric has also worked extensively in the world of classical and contemporary dance where he has produced a wide variety of music ranging from short electronic pieces to full evening orchestral scores. These include works for companies such as the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Northern Ballet Theatre, Finnish National Opera and the Bern Ballet.

Works for TV and film include commissions from Channel 4 UK and projects with directors Gabriella Cserhati and Fabien Lartigue.

A selection of his works are published by Norsk Musikforlag.
