Ann Moss

Soprano Ann Moss is an acclaimed recording artist, chamber musician, and champion of living composers. Highlights of her 2025-26 season include the West Coast premiere of Epithets by Kate Soper with After Everything Ensemble; a Teaching Artist Residency with composition students at Amherst College; and performances from the new Béla Bartók: Complete Critical Edition of Folk Song Arrangements for Voice and Piano in collaboration with pianist Ketty Nez, Viola Biró and Vera Lampert of G. Henle Verlag—Editio Musica Budapest. She has been a featured soloist with San Francisco Symphony, SF Chamber Orchestra, UC Berkeley Symphony, SF Contemporary Music Players, Music of Remembrance, and the Ives, Alexander, Lydian and Hausmann String Quartets. Described as a "fearless performer” of some of the most challenging music of the last two hundred years, Ann’s artistic mission is to lift up contemporary vocal literature to serve as narrative for the hard to speak about issues of our times. Her January, 2025 release Now I Am interweaves songs by Griffin Candey, Jake Heggie, Ann Kearns, Cyndi Lauper, Joni Mitchell, Tom Petty and Stephen Sondheim in the fashion of a bespoke "mixtape." A twice-elected Governor of the SF Chapter of the Recording Academy, Ann shares that organization’s commitment to promoting diversity & inclusion, advocating for creator’s rights, protecting musicians in need, and saving music in our schools. She is a native of Lincoln, MA and a graduate of Hampshire College, the Longy School of Music of Bard College, and San Francisco Conservatory. www.annmosssoprano.com
