These concerts are the North Carolina Symphony debut for Andrea Edith Moore. 

Soprano Andrea Edith Moore has collaborated with artists and ensembles including Vladimir Ashkenazy, David Zinman, Eighth Blackbird, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance company, the Hamburger Kammeroper, My Brightest Diamond, and the Red Clay Ramblers.

Equally at home in the music of our time and of the distant past, she has starred in roles ranging from The Governess in Britten’s The Turn of the Screw, Micaëla in Bizet’s Carmen, Countess Almaviva in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro, and Sara in Jennifer Higdon’s Cold Mountain. As a concert soloist, she has performed at venues including the Teatro Colón, Baltimore Lieder Weekend, Duke Chapel, and the Richard Tucker Music Foundation.

Moore’s commitment to voices from her native North Carolina has led her to commission, premiere, and perform composers including Kenneth Frazelle, Daniel Thomas Davis, Sue Klausmeyer, Robert Ward, and numerous others. She produced, premiered, and developed Family Secrets: Kith and Kin with North Carolina Opera, and will feature this new work as her debut recording.

Moore is a prizewinner in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, was a fellow with four-time Grammy-winning ensemble Eighth Blackbird at the Blackbird Creative Lab and has twice received the Yale School of Music Alumni Award. She holds degrees from Yale University, Peabody Conservatory of Music at The Johns Hopkins University, and UNC School of the Arts.

Moore performs full time and teaches privately. With her husband, she owns two restaurants: Alley Twenty Six in Durham and James Beard “America’s Classic” Restaurant Crook's Corner in Chapel Hill.
