Jazz vocalist, songwriter and project leader
My name is Maria Rylander, and I'm a passionate supporter of grassroots initiatives and international collaboration in jazz and improvised music.
I run Knutpunkt, a network connecting musicians, organizers and venues across the south of Sweden, and I also serve on the Board of the Europe Jazz Network. Building meaningful connections between people, organizations and ideas is something I truly care about.
Maria was also one of the prime motors of the Swedish official host country project at JAZZAHEAD 2026!
