PROJECT/PROGRAMTell us about your project or program INFORMATION Title of Grant Family Secrets: Kith and Kin Recording Request Grant Amount $3000 Requested Project Start Date September 14, 2019 (no earlier than July 1, 2019) Project End Date (no June 1, 2020 later than June 30, 2020) DocuSign Envelope ID:60E96CD9-F983-4BD7-9EBC-BA412FlB67DA Project/Program Soprano, Andrea Edith Moore will record her debut album, Family Summary Secrets: Kith & Kin, a new chamber opera by NC born composer Daniel Thomas Davis and texts by seven Orange County authors Jeffery Beam, Allan Gurganus, Randall Kenan, Michael Malone, Frances Mayes, Lee Smith, and Daniel Wallace. Andrea will join forces with 5 time Grammy award winning producer Elaine Martone, opera conductor Timothy Myers, actress Jane Holding, a stellar ensemble including pianist, Lisa Kaplan (Eighth Blackbird); banjoist Hank Smith (Hank, Patty and the Current) and members of Mallarme Chamber Players, at Manifold Recording Studio and to be mastered by Brent Lambert (Kitchen Mastering in Carrboro). Additionally, each author will record a narrated version of their story at WHUP Radio Studio in Hillsborough. These author recrodings will provide the bonus tracks for the album. The recording of Family Secrets: Kith & Kin will be released in 2020 on Albany Records. This project is already supported by The Kenan Foundation and a successful crowdsourcing fundraising campaign totaling $18,000 to date. An additional Grant for $10,000 is under consideration by New Music USA. At present, we are scheduled to record the album on time in September 2019. The total project budget is $36,000. My request for $3000 in funds from Arts of Orange would round out the budget exactly and would be used to specifically to cover the expense of Mastering the recording at the Kitchen in Carrboro and additional recording expenses to record the authors. DocuSign Envelope ID:60E96CD9-F983-4BD7-9EBC-BA412FlB67DA Community Imn2rt Andrea Edith Moore commissioned the texts and the music for Family Secrets: Kith & Kin in 2014-15 with the specific goal of bringing her musical community together with writers and artists of the New South. The impact and response have touched a deep, positive nerve."The... evocative texts moved me to recall memories I didn't know I had." (Classical Voice of NC). This series of interconnected dramatic portraits explores and reveals secrets through the rooms, houses and scenes set in a small town that tell of murder, gossip, humor, regret, solace and ultimately... forgiveness. While Family Secrets Kith & Kin evokes a sense of southern place, it also paints a picture of "Any Town, USA" as Allan Gurganus posits "Everything the world does wrong, everything the world does best is found right here... Can't we each be saved from our worst selves?" The concert world-premiere in 2015 at UNC-CH was standing room only and the response spurred the work forward into a fully staged version by director Francesca Talenti to once-again sold-out audiences with North Carolina Opera in 2018. Both performances featured the photography of Hillsborough photographer Elizabeth Matheson as well as borrowed structures from the unparalleled private collection of American Folk Art Buildings of Steven Burke and Randy Campbell also of Hillsborough. Artwork featuring Matheson's photographs will be used for the Album design. As a fellow at the 2018 Eighth Blackbird Creative Lab, Andrea further grew Family Secrets: Kith & Kin with the encouragement of Lab director, Elaine Martone who will produce the recording. A recording of the work is the next step to preserving and prolonging the life of this piece. The recording will be released to listeners everywhere in 2020 at the onset of a tour, currently in the planning stages and will be submitted for Grammy consideration. DocuSign Envelope ID:60E96CD9-F983-4BD7-9EBC-BA412FlB67DA Artist Experience Andrea Edith Moore is a singing artist, music-creator, actress, dynamic-collaborator and educator who approaches all things vocal with a fearless excellence. She brings a "certain opalescence that is particularly served by her impressive phrasing and inherent musicality" (operagasm.com) and comfortably traverses repertoire from opera roles such as the Countess to Anne Trulove to chamber music spanning the gamut of Monteverdi to Kate Soper. Andrea commissioned, produced and premiered Family Secrets: Kith and Kin by Daniel Thomas Davis with seven new texts by world- renowned authors in 2015. "The roles of Girl, Mother, and Daughter were sung by Moore, who continues to wow audiences with her powerful and flexible soprano voice, her acting ability, her dedication and drive, and her charm that enables such projects as this to be successful." (CVNC) Moore has premiered works by Judah Adashi, Allen Anderson, David Arcus, Stephen Chatman, Daniel Thomas Davis, Marjorie Merryman, Eric Schwartz, Martin Suckling, Zachary Wadsworth. She has served as a vocal advisor with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company and has worked intimately with modern dance choreographer Ros Warby. She sang the role of Sara in Jennifer Higdon's new opera Cold Mountain; the 2017 world-premiere of Eric Schwartz's live film- score accompanying The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari; Dianarah in Patrick Morganelli's opera Hercules vs. Vampires with NCO. Moore is a prize-winner in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and has been twice awarded the Yale School of Music Alumni Award. This will be her debut recording.
