#4340: New Sounds Live – Kelly Moran and Missy Mazzoli, Part 2

New Sounds | Mar 11, 2020

We're back at Merkin Hall for the rest of the New Sounds Live concert that took place on February 29 as part of the Ecstatic Music Festival's 10th Anniversary season featuring composers and keyboardists Missy Mazzoli and Kelly Moran. 

We'll continue to hear the world premiere of Mazzoli’s The Night Ahead and No Real Fate for piano four-hands and electronics, and some more material from Moran's recent expansive album Ultraviolet as well as new material.

Missy Mazzoli is currently part of the composition faculty at the Mannes College of Music, composer-in-residence at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and is working on an opera commission set to premiere at the Metropolitan Opera in late 2020. She also leads her own band, Victoire, and founded Luna Composition Lab, a mentorship program and support network for female-identifying composers ages 13-19.

Kelly Moran is a keyboardist, composer, engineer, producer, and an artist who works with prepared piano. She can conjure via her keyboards and electronics everything from jazz to dream pop, black metal, ambient music and minimalism. Moran is sponsored by Yamaha, was awarded a 2018 Van Lier fellowship by Roulette Intermedium, and has collaborated and/or toured with Oneohtrix Point Never, percussion quartet Yarn/Wire, as well as no-wave, avant-rock, and experimental ensembles. She has also composed a major work for long-term John Cage collaborator Margaret Leng-Tan and records for Warp Records.
