Moises Carrasco is a bassist who “provides propulsion and
support…with his keen attention and vivid playing”. The son of a
Tubist and organ builder, Moises was involved with youth
orchestras at a young age. He cycled through percussion and
trumpet before finally discovering the bass. After many years of
ensembles in the New England area, Moises was accepted to the
Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan where he studied with
Derek Weller.
He pursued his collegiate studies at the New
England Conservatory of Music (NEC) studying with Orpheus
Chamber Orchestra’s Donald Palma and the Boston Symphony’s
Thomas Van Dyck. He credits all of his teachers and his parents
for shaping him into the musician he is today. Moises holds a
Bachelor’s Degree and a Graduate Diploma from NEC.
Specializing in orchestral music, Moises has played with
ensembles across North America and Europe. He has performed
in such prestigious venues as: Dvorak Hall in Prague, Royal Albert
Hall in London, Musikverein in Vienna, Symphony Hall in Boston,
the Koussevitsky Shed at Tanglewood and many more.
Moises can be heard performing with orchestras including Portsmouth
Symphony, Symphony By The Sea, Cape Symphony, New Bedford
Symphony, Boston Pops Orchestra and the Pittsburgh Symphony.
Moises is appreciative of all genres of music and is always looking
for something new. When not playing bass, Moises is often
playing basketball or listening to MF DOOM.
