FROM THE PRESS
“Maeve Stier captivated both judges and audience with a transportive performance that evoked the charm of a Parisian street. Blending accordion, opera arias, and elements of mime and immersive theater, Maeve’s multidisciplinary talents shone brightly during the final Busk-Off. With roots in classical music and a flair for storytelling, they delivered a performance that was both artful and unforgettable—earning them the $1,000 grand prize and the title of Portland’s Favorite Busker.”

“Maeve Stier netted the afternoon’s longest standing ovation. Dressed in a sort of 1930s Paris chic outfit and carrying an accordion, they sat, adjusted the mic, then proceeded to stun the audience, belting out an operatic performance of one of Gilda’s arias from Act I of Verdi’s “Rigoletto.” A stunned audience sat, open-mouthed, during the surprise performance — one doesn’t expect an operatically trained soprano to be behind a squeezebox. They leapt to their feet when [Maeve] finished.”
— Portland Tribune
“Maeve Stier reprised their role as “The Birder,” (one of my favorite characters in opera history), and came around the corner playing the Humming Chorus from Madama Butterfly on the accordion as they sang along. If possible, Stier has gotten better at accordion opera accompaniment over the past couple of years, their playing even more delicate and full of color. The ability to shade this beautiful music on such a seemingly incongruous instrument is a testament to their elite musicianship.”
