A native of Sacramento and graduate of Manhattan School of Music, Ms. Moore has collaborated frequently with composers in new works, including Jerome Rosen’s opera Calisto and Melibea, Ciro Scotto’s Songs of a Geisha, and works by Dave Hall, Michael Rose, and others. She made her Merkin Hall debut in 2000 singing the world premiere of Richard Thompson’s The Shadow of Dawn with the Manhattan Chamber Orchestra under Richard Auldon Clark, with whom she has also performed Barber’s Knoxville-Summer of 1915, and in 2003 sang the New York premiere of Mr. Thompson’s two Langston Hughes settings, which she will record along with The Shadow of Dawn later this year. As part of last year’s ACA “Festival of American Music” held at the Kosciusko Foundation, she performed new chamber pieces by Marc Antonio Consoli, Frederick Tillis and Eric Froeberg, and was soprano soloist in Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy with the Brooklyn Conservatory Community Orchestra, which was telecast last fall on WNYE New York. Last summer she was featured in a recital of eastern European composers with noted British violinist Susanne Stanzeleit and pianist Ofra Yitzhaki, and performed Leonard Bernstein’s song cycle I Hate Music at the Bernstein Festival hosted by the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music. This past fall she performed Op. 38 songs by Rachmaninoff in concert with pianist and composer Sergei Dreznin as part of the Yeshiva University Museum’s Festival of Russian Art and Culture, and in April sang the role of the Countess in The Marriage of Figaro. Her most recent appearances include a recital of songs by prize-winning composer Michael Rose as part of the recently inaugurated Brooklyn Conservatory New Music Collective, and an exclusive interview on WNYE (New York)’s classical music program, Call of the Mountain, hosted by James D. Jacobs. Future performances include the American Composers Alliance’s 2004 American Music Festival at the Flea Theater in Tribeca, where she will be performing works by Jesse Sklar and Darleen Mitchell, and a return to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2004 in works by Shostakovich.

REVIEWS

"…a warm and dark voice…a radiant and soft soprano sings out…as Mimi"

Leipziger Volkszeitung
 

"The rich soprano sound of Christine Moore caught the ear in the evening's opening numbers from Monteverdi's "Incoronazione di Poppea…"

The New Mexican
 

"There were several impressive women in the concert. Soprano Christine Moore stood out for lyrical singing of an aria in the "Susannah" title role; for energetic presence and clarity of diction in a scene from Douglas Moore's "The Ballad of Baby Doe" and for striking acting in the "Student Prince" excerpt."

Albuquerque Journal
 

"Christine Moore took over the part of Pamina on short notice…and did a more-than-competent job under trying circumstances."
