MAIIJA is the project of Austrian musician and composer Marilies Jagsch, whose voice has been a defining feature of the Viennese music scene for over 15 years. After two early solo albums, she opened a new chapter in 2023: Under the name MAIIJA, she collaborates with producer Peter Paul Aufreiter (Hearts Hearts) to create songs that weave experimental pop, intimate songwriting, and electronic textures into a unique soundscape. Her debut album, I AM (Noise Appeal Records), was released in 2023, followed in 2026 by WHAT IF, which tells a touchingly personal story of vulnerability and strength, illness and hope, stagnation and new beginnings – always linked to the question of collective responsibility in an uncertain present.
The Live on Stage concert is curated by Klaus Totzler ( Blue Bird Vienna ).
