Edward Kelsey Moore / some Recent Appearances. . .
*Over the past couple of years Edward Kelsey Moore has entranced and entertained local audiences whenever he’s been invited to tell a personal story at one (or more) of the monthly storytelling showcases that take place all year-round and all over Chicagoland. In July 2025 he was part of the monthly This Much Is True storytelling showcase at the popular Mrs. Murphy's Irish Bistro in the North Center neighborhood. This Much Is True is the longest running monthly storytelling show in Chicago (since 2008!)
And in June 2025 Edward made two appearances for Pride Month: at Sidetracks (Chicago’s premiere gay bar), for their monthly OUTspoken LGBTQ+ storytelling show, and a week later at Writers Theatre /Glencoe, for their monthly Show & Tell storytelling series.
To tell a story, in person, to a live audience sitting close by, is quite different than writing a book, or performing with an orchestra in a large auditorium. For the audience, hearing a story live has a much different impact than what they get at a movie theater, or from a smaller screen at home, or on mobile. Edward says that the immediacy and intimacy of in-person storytelling creates a unique experience for all — one that’s worth seeking out! And many storytelling events are free to attend!

*In May 2025 Edward Kelsey Moore joined his Sinfonietta colleagues for TONAL TRANSFORMATION, the final concerts to close out Chicago Sinfonietta’s Spring'25 season. Edward also played his cello in the Sinfonietta season concerts in January and March in Chicago and Naperville, Illinois.
*In early April 2025 Edward Kelsey Moore was among the Chicago Philharmonic for two Chicago screenings of the 2016 mega-hit movie, La La Land, performed with LIVE orchestra at the historic Auditorium Theatre. Audiences thrilled to this iconic film like never before as the Philharmonic and a live jazz band brought Justin Hurwitz’s unforgettable score to life. The musicians performed beneath a giant movie screen, playing jazzy rhythms -and breathtaking piano solos in the film’s most vivid musical moments- and all of it conducted (in this ultimate experience) by the composer, Justin Hurwitz himself!
