She is also a founder of the Malibu Friends of Music.

She has received musical commendations from the United States Congress (2009), the California State Senate (2009), the California State Assembly (2009), the City of Malibu (2010), and the Annenberg Foundation (2011).
Life and career
Maria Newman is the youngest child of nine-time Academy Award-winning composer and conductor Alfred Newman and former Goldwyn Girl and businesswoman Martha Louis Montgomery. She is part of the Hollywood Newman family dynasty, known for its musical contributions to film. Her father was also the conductor of the original Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. The Newman family has Jewish roots.
Newman grew up in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, and began studying piano at the age of six. She started violin lessons at eight and was composing by the time she was nine. As a teenager, Newman studied with violinist Joachim Chassman, a founding member of the Hollywood String Quartet, and played in the 20th Century Fox Studio Orchestra under the direction of her father, Alfred Newman.
After high school, Newman attended the University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, where she studied violin with Peter Salaff of the Cleveland Quartet and piano with Blair Cosman. She graduated in 1984 with a Bachelor of Music (BM) degree, earning high honors (magna cum laude). That same year, she was inducted into the American Academic Honor Society, Pi Kappa Lambda.
Newman pursued graduate studies at Yale University from 1984 to 1986, where she studied violin with Syoko Aki and composition with Martin Bresnick. She earned a Master of Music (MM) degree in 1986 and received the Yale School of Music's George Wellington Miles Award.
In addition to her active career as a composer and performing her own works in concert, Newman has collaborated as a soloist with celebrities such as Pierce Brosnan, Billy Crystal, Paul Reiser, Randy Newman, and Daniel Stern. Her works have been performed in unique venues, including the United States Capitol, Hearst Castle Private Theatre, the Washington State Capitol Building Rotunda, the National Archives Building, the Kennedy Center, and the Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C..
Newman and her husband, Scott Hosfeld, the founding conductor and music director of the Malibu Coast Chamber Orchestra, currently live in Malibu, California. They have five children.
Family and renowned siblings
Maria is the youngest child of Martha Louis Montgomery (born December 5, 1920, in Clarksdale, Mississippi; died May 9, 2005, in Pacific Palisades, California), a former John Robert Powers model, actress, benefactor, and Goldwyn Girl, and nine-time Academy Award-winning film composer Alfred Newman. Maria has four older siblings: Thomas Newman, David Newman, Fred Newman, and Lucy Newman Whiffen. She also has one half-brother, Tim Newman.
Maria comes from a large family of prominent Hollywood film composers:
Her older brother, David Newman, has scored nearly 100 films, and frequently conducts live film music concerts.
Her second older brother, Thomas Newman, has scored over 75 films, including Finding Nemo, The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption, Road to Perdition, American Beauty, WALL-E, and 1917, and has received twelve Academy Award nominations.
Her first cousin, Randy Newman, is a two-time Academy Award winner known not only for his film work but also as a singer-songwriter. His film credits include The Natural, Seabiscuit, Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4, and Monster's Inc. among others.
Her cousin, Joey Newman, has scored many TV series, films, and video games.
Her niece, Jaclyn Newman Dorn, is a music editor who won a Golden Reel Award for 30 Days of Night: Dark Days and received another nomination for Burlesque.
Her uncle, Lionel Newman, scored three dozen films and several TV series, and adapted and conducted scores for hundreds of other films.
Her uncle, Emil Newman, scored over 80 films.
Her stepfather, Robert O. Ragland, was a film composer for over 70 films. He married Maria's mother, Martha, two years after Alfred Newman's passing and remained married to her until her death in 2005. Ragland also utilized Maria's violin talents in his film score for No Place to Hide starring Kris Kristofferson, Drew Barrymore, and Martin Landau.
Composition career
Newman is an Annenberg Foundation Composition Fellow and received a grant from the foundation in 2012.
As a violinist who performs and records around the world, Maria Newman initially began her professional composition career using a pseudonym. "I was terribly worried that I would not be taken seriously as a female composer in what I felt was a highly male-dominated field. My famous family's film musician genealogy also led me to believe that I would not be accepted, much less respected, in the concert music world as a serious composer." Newman used the name M. Louis Parker, the name of her maternal great-grandmother, feeling that it neither indicated her family name nor revealed her gender. In 1991, Newman began using her own name as a composer. Although she studied composition briefly with Martin Bresnick at Yale University, she earned both her BM and MM in violin performance. To date, Newman's original music library consists of over 150 concert works.

=As composer-in-residence at the Montgomery Arts House for Music and Architecture (MAHMA), a modern craftsman venue in Malibu, California, designed by Eric Lloyd Wright of the Frank Lloyd Wright family of architects, Newman participates in over 40 concerts annually at this venue alone.

Since 2005, Newman has held the Louis and Annette Kaufman Composition Chair and the Joachim Chassman Violin Chair at MAHMA and the Malibu Friends of Music. Additionally, Newman tours frequently as a featured composer, performer, lecturer, and master teacher.
= Viklarbo Chamber Ensemble
=Along with pianist and longtime musical partner Wendy Prober, Newman founded the Viklarbo Chamber Ensemble in 1987. With Viklarbo, Newman and Prober have performed in some of the country's most prestigious concert halls as well as in some of its poorest communities. The ensemble has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department, the California Arts Council, the Utah Tour for the Performing Arts, the Delta Arts Council, the Headwaters Council for the Arts, the Hawaii Council for the Arts, and many others. The ensemble continues to present concerts today, with Newman serving as Composer-in-Residence.
