MAX DYER is an American cellist whose music moves between classical, jazz, folk, and world traditions. A longtime member of the Houston Ballet Orchestra and a collaborator with the Houston Grand Opera and Houston Symphony, he has also appeared on more than a hundred recordings across many genres. His projects range from orchestral and film music to East/West fusion and early music with Cantiga and the New World Renaissance Band.

After  a decade of bringing live music to retirement and memory care communities, Max now lives in Bavaria, where he continues to perform, record, and explore new ways the cello can connect people and stories across cultures and generations.
