ALICIA HALL MORAN
"...[the] imaginative recontextualization of classical singing has long propelled [her]...a trained mezzo-soprano who never tries to sound like anything else, despite the diverse artistic company she keeps." — New York Times
Alicia Hall Moran, mezzo-soprano, is a multi-dimensional artist performing and composing between the genres of opera, art, theater, and jazz. Moran made her Broadway debut in the Tony-winning revival The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess, starring as Bess on the celebrated 20-city American tour. "Moran finds the truth of the character in her magnificent voice" (Los Angeles Times).
A unique vocalist performing across the fine arts and in her own contemporary work, Moran has been creatively nurtured and tapped by celebrated artists including Carrie Mae Weems, Adam Pendleton, Joan Jonas, Ragnar Kjartansson, Simone Leigh, Liz Magic Laser, curator Okwui Enwezor, choreographer Bill T. Jones, musicians Bill Frisell, Charles Lloyd, Jason Moran (her husband, pictured with her on left), and the band Harriet Tubman, diverse writers from Simon Schama to Carl Hancock Rux, as well as institutions at the forefront of art and ideas worldwide. www.aliciahallmoran.com
