Maria Konoshenko is a mezzo-soprano singer, composer and linguist currently based in Helsinki, Finland.

Her music blends classical elegance with jazz-infused harmonies and a touch of cabaret flair.

This website mostly features Maria’s work as a musician, but as a linguist she works on tone variation and multilingualism in West Africa.
