Father Paul Maillet has performed in recital and as a soloist with orchestras in numerous countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas, including concerto performances with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. His solo and chamber music recitals include appearances at the Kennedy Center and at Weill Recital Hall.  After studying with Cecile Genhart under full scholarship at the Eastman School of Music and with Leon Fleisher at the Peabody Conservatory, he went on to study with Dorothy Taubman, with whom he studied for twelve years. In 1995, he discerned a call to ordained ministry in the Roman Catholic Church. After beginning his seminary formation, he continued to perform in the United States and Europe when his studies in philosophy and theology permitted. During this period, a CD of a critically acclaimed live performance at Williams College was released in 1999. 

He was ordained to the priesthood in 2001 for the Archdiocese of Baltimore. After two years of parish ministry in Baltimore, he went on to teach Latin, Greek and Sacred Scripture at St. Patrick's Seminary in Menlo Park, California.  He now lives in Washington DC and is studying towards a doctorate in Biblical Studies at the Catholic University of America in preparation for teaching at the seminary level as a member of the Society of Saint Sulpice.

His experience as a teacher of piano and other music courses include positions at the Peabody Institute, the Eastman School of Music, Loyola College in Baltimore, and the Taubman Institute at Amherst (and later at Williams), as well as lectures and master-classes in the United States and Asia. He continues to perform and most recently has given lectures and a master-class at Lincoln Center as a member of the Taubman Seminar faculty.

Reviews - As A Performer

“Maillet remains a fluent technician who boasts a particularly lovely quality of sound and who excels in subtlety of voicing.  Most of all he has something to say, feelings to express and thoughts to communicate.”
