Soprano Andrea Edith Moore brings to her performances an “opalescence that is particularly served by her impressive phrasing and inherent musicality” (operagasm.com), and “wows audiences with her powerful and flexible soprano voice, her acting ability, and her dedication and drive” (CVNC). Andrea has enjoyed a wide range of collaborations with conductors, performing artists, and ensembles including Vladimir Ashkenazy, Gerhardt Zimmermann, David Zinman, Gerard Schwarz, Eighth Blackbird, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, Anthony Dean Griffey, My Brightest Diamond aka Shara Nova, McArthur Grant winner and Tap Dancer/Choreographer Michelle Dorrance, and NC bluegrass perennials The Red Clay Ramblers. She has also worked on major collaborations with literary giants Allan Gurganus, Frances Mayes, Lee Smith, Randall Kenan, and Daniel Wallace, to name only a few.  

Equally at home creating music of our time and of the distant past, she has starred in operatic roles ranging from The Governess in Britten’s Turn of the Screw, Micaëla in Carmen, Countess Almaviva in Le Nozze di Figaro, and Sara in Jennifer Higdon’s Cold Mountain. An accomplished concert soloist, she has garnered particular acclaim for her interpretations of much of the canon of Orchestral, Choral, and Operatic repertoire as well the Bach Cantatas, and German Lieder at venues such as The North Carolina Symphony, Teatro Colon, The North Carolina Opera, Hamburger Kammeroper, Eastern Music Festival, El Paso Symphony, Aspen Music Festival, Central City Opera, Baltimore Lieder Weekend, Duke University Chapel, the NC H.I.P. Festival, the Munich Residenz and Museum for Egyptian Art, and the Richard Tucker Foundation. 

Andrea’s commitment to voices from her native North Carolina has led her to commission, premiere, and perform new works by NC composers including Kenneth Frazelle, Tarik Ghiradella, Allen Anderson, Robert Ward, and numerous others. She produced, premiered, and developed Family Secrets: Kith and Kin with composer Daniel Thomas Davis and recorded this chamber opera on her debut album, released on Albany Records in 2020. The album was hailed as “A major new work... Five stars: A fascinating new chamber opera... Moore’s singing is hauntingly intense.” (Fanfare Magazine) American Record Guide described it as "a slice of southern culture that could easily pass under your radar, and that would be unfortunate."  The record was a 2022 GRAMMYⓇ nominee under producer Elaine Martone’s “Classical Producer of the Year” nod. 

Her second album Searching the Heart, released on Composer’s Concordance Records-NAXOS, is currently up for GRAMMYⓇ Consideration. “Moore sings the songs,” of her contemporaries, four living American composers, “with a glowing voice. She inhabits them thoroughly” (American Record Guide). Her third record, Music for Falling and Flying, now out on Neuma Records, features the music of composer Nathan Hudson and poet Ben Loory. 

Andrea is a prizewinner in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, was a fellow with the four-time GRAMMYⓇ -winning ensemble Eighth Blackbird at the Blackbird Creative Lab, and has twice received the Yale School of Music Alumni Award. She holds degrees from Yale University, Peabody Conservatory of Music at The Johns Hopkins University, and UNC School of the Arts. Andrea is a full voting member of the Recording Academy/GRAMMYSⓇ. 

A teacher of voice for over 20 years, she has educated singers at Yale University and served on the voice faculty of UNC Chapel Hill for nearly a decade. Andrea currently lives, sings, and teaches a full-time private studio in Durham, NC. Her students have gone on to programs at the Curtis Institute of Music, Peabody Conservatory, New England Conservatory, Boston Conservatory, UNCSA, Johns Hopkins University, Harvard University, Northwestern University, Oberlin College, Meredith College, and have won the most prestigious scholarships and competition prizes in the country such as The Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, the Morehead-Cain Scholarship, the Robertson Scholarship, and the Kenan Scholar programs. 

Andrea currently serves as the board chair of Mallarmé Music, now in its 41st season, and is also a co-Artistic Director of Faith & the Arts, the presenting arm of St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church where the arts are the forum for spiritual connection. With her husband Shannon Healy, she owns the James Beard Nominated craft cocktail bar Alley Twenty Six.
