A pianist who The New Yorker described as “New York’s queen of avant-garde piano”, Lisa Moore has performed with the London Sinfonietta, Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Sydney, Canberra and Tasmanian Symphony Orchestras to name just a few, and has played under the baton of luminaries like Leonard Bernstein, Pierre Boulez, David Robertson and Edo de Waart. She’s appeared in venues from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House, and been part of over 30 albums. Lisa has made her career performing music of living composers. In this conversation she speaks with great passion about this music, sharing great insights about it plus her career journey as a modern pianist. Since recording this interview, Lisa is happy to announce the release in early 2025 of the new album from Crux Duo, a collaboration between herself and clarinettist Lloyd Van’t Hoff. Called My Place, it’s a compilation of modern Australian and American works written and arranged especially for them, including by Elena Kats-Chernin, Erik Griswold, Nick Russoniello, Harriet Steinke, and Martin Bresnick, and will be released on the ABC Classics label. Lisa and Lloyd will perform a concert launching the album at the Goethe Institute, as part of the Goethe Lounge Series, at 6pm on Wednesday 22 January 2025.
