(cello)
Moses Sedler commenced his study of the classical cello repertoire,
composition and improvisation in the mid-80s. He continued these
studies at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. At this time,
he learned composition from Janice Giteck, and Jazz improvisation
from Julian Priester and Jerry Graneli. Moses eventually moved
to the San Francisco Bay Area to study North Indian classical
music from the world-renowned sarod master, Ali Akbar Khan, and
tabla from Swapan Chaudhuri. More recently, Moses has contributed
to a wide variety of ensembles combining improvisation and composition
and blending the musical flavors of India, the Middle East, Western
classical and Jazz. In 1997, Moses received a commission from
Alonzo Kingís Lines Contemporary Ballet to compose a piece for
their fall season. Currently, Moses is actively pursuing his composing
career, writing music for classical chamber ensembles. He also
performs and records with Davka, an ensemble dedicated to exploring
and expanding the traditional boundaries of Jewish music.
