Edward Kelsey Moore / some Recent Appearances. . .
In late December, the Tetrapin Cello Quartet presented two Holiday concerts which featured innovative four-cello arrangements of festive holiday tunes, personal Christmas stories, and a heartfelt sing-a-long. Edward Kelsey Moore is a founding member of the Tetrapin Cello Quartet.
Among many December performances, E.K.M. joined with the Chicago JAZZ Orchestra, this time accompanying the celebrated Elvis tribute artist Victor Trevino Jr., who performed holiday favorites from Elvis's iconic, best-selling Christmas album! The other half of the concert (without the strings) was the authentic jazz edition of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, as arranged in 1960 by Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington, played by the Big Band component of the orchestra. It was a toe-tapping, hip shaking afternoon of holiday jazz!!
Mid-October saw Edward Kelsey Moore performing in New York City -- at Carnegie Hall! The streaming music icon, Sleeping at Last, joined forces with Chicago Philharmonic for a concert that explored the artist's beloved songs, reimagined with symphony orchestra. A week prior to the NYC trip, this same show was presented in two sold-out concerts at the Harris Theater, the gateway to spectacular Millennium Park in Chicago. E.K.M. performed among his Chicago Philharmonic colleagues in all three concerts.
