Eric Moore is a cellist, composer, and teacher based in Tuscany, Italy. He followed his teacher Richard Aaron from Cleveland to the University of Michigan, where he graduated summa cum laude with a triple major in cello performance, music theory, and music history. By 23 he had been principal cellist of four orchestras.

A specialist in new music, Eric has given dozens of US and world premieres, including works by Saariaho, Pintscher, Ablinger, Lang, and more. He recorded TEXTUREN, Katharina Rosenberger’s album with the Wet Ink Ensemble, which earned Album of the Year accolades, and was the only American invited to audition for the Grammy-winning Ensemble Intercontemporain in Paris. As Executive Director of New Music Decanted, he produced a six-concert Saariaho retrospective festival. During a mini-residency at Illinois State University, he premiered solo works by faculty composers Alex Stephenson and Alex Taylor, and recorded Stephenson’s Veil/Flame for Navona Records.

Eric has composed more than 40 works for cello, including the 38-minute Soliloquy for solo cello and cello quartet, the 100-minute 40 Variations on “Schindler’s List,” and 12 Mantras after Bach. This November he performs his cello concerto, Circles.

With Richard Aaron, Eric co-edited the Popper 40 Etudes, required at institutions such as the San Francisco Conservatory, the University of Michigan, Juilliard, and Tianjin Juilliard. He built the 9-Volume Cellosophy Method and four online practice courses, including the Proper Popper Practice Project. If you teach cello, Cellosophy offers a free teacher directory, free training, and free certification in the Cellosophy Method. Join at cellosophy.com.

Patricia Caicedo presents Beyond Center and Periphery: Latin American Art Song and the Decolonization of the Classical Vocal Canon.

What can art song reveal about how nations imagine themselves? Through rarely heard works by Latin  American composers and poets, this lecture traces how songs became mirrors of identity, history, and cultural change. It offers context, listening tools, and performance insights needed to bring this repertoire into today’s vocal canon.

Patricia Caicedo is a soprano, musicologist, and physician specializing in Latin American and Iberian art song, music and health, and decolonial thought. Founder of the Barcelona Festival of Song, she has performed internationally, recorded eleven albums, and authored eighteen books, including The Latin American Art Song: Sounds of the Imagined Nations (Lexington Books, 2018) and We Are What We Listen To: The Impact of Music on Individual and Social Health (Mundo Arts Publications, 2021).
