Trained as a violinist and violist, I completed my undergraduate studies at the Royal College of Music in London and my Masters Degree and Graduate Diploma at the New England Conservatory in Boston.
I composed a piece called ‘DUSK’ for the choreographer Joseph Toonga performed on the Main Stage at the Royal Ballet & Opera House, Covent Garden as part of the Encounters: Four Contemporary Ballets in 2024 from October 22nd to November 16th.
In 2023, I performed violin, viola and backing vocals for Peter Gabriel's i/o tour around Europe, UK, the United States and Canada.
I recorded solo strings for Brian Eno’s most recent album ‘FOREVERANDNOMORE’ and solo viola for his 2022 installation in Trentino.
Since 2016, I have been recording and touring with Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music playing violin, viola, keys and washboard. Other projects I have worked on include London Studio Centre, Mara Carlyle, Birdy, Anthony Coleman, Bright Eyes, and orchestral sessions at Abbey Road Studios and AIR Studios.
I have been playing in the Royal Opera House Orchestra, Covent Garden since 2015 and previously at the Palau De Les Arts Reina Sofia Opera House in Valencia.
“The score, by Marina Moore, which incorporates sound and birdsong, wraps the piece in suggestive richness.”
- Sarah Crompton’s review in The Guardian, 0ct. 2024 of the piece ‘DUSK’ choreographed by Joseph Toonga and music composed by Marina Moore as part of the Encounters: Four Contemporary Ballets at the Royal Ballet & Opera
“Marina Moore’s gorgeous score is similarly a meeting of classical and modern.”
- David Mead’s Review for Seeing Dance Oct. 2024 of the piece ‘DUSK’ in Encounters: Four Contemporary Ballets at the Royal Ballet & Opera
The score by Marina Moore with orchestration by Peter Riley is a world in and of itself; simultaneously classical and modern with nature and city soundscapes piped in from within the auditorium, it's a perpetual feast for the ears.
- Matthew Paluch’s review for Broadway World, Oct. 2024 of ‘DUSK’
“Marina Moore’s score offered a superb companion to Toonga’s structuring of the choreography, from its opening to the closing solos.”
- Kathrina Farrugia-Kriel’s review for Gramilano, Oct. 2024 of “DUSK’
“At this point we’re used to women as singers, as bass players, watching Marina inspired, illustrated the opportunities for girls in the future.”
