Annie Moses Band Sunday,
February 24, 2013
3:00 p.m.
The Annie Moses Band is an
ensemble unlike any in America
today. A blend of fiddle, jazz, and classical influences fused with soaring,
folk-inspired vocals creates a sound that is both refreshing and familiar.With 1000+ hours of airings on PBS stations
across the country, a top-ten Classical Crossover album, a bustling tour
schedule of over 80 concerts a year before 100,000+ people, and a plethora of
appearances on television, this family is pulling new fans from across musical
genres to their eclectic style of music making.Beyond this success, the Annie Moses Band enjoys the fact that their music
is an inspiration to a new generation of young artisans. “Everywhere we perform
there are returning children, who say to us, ‘I started playing a couple of
years ago after we saw your concert.’ This scenario is exactly what we hope
will happen,” Annie explains. To bolster this reality, the Band hosts the
annual FineArtsSummerAcademy in Nashville, TN
where over 200 students from ages 4 to 22 come to hone their artistic craft and
discover their innate gifts as performers.
Meet the family: Bill
Wolaver (composer/arranger/pianist) and his wife, Robin
(vocalist/lyricist/composer/ speaker) along with their children: Annie (lead
vocals, violin), Alex (lead vocals, viola), Benjamin (cello), Camille (harp,
keyboard, vocals), Gretchen (violin, mandolin, guitar, vocals) and Jeremiah
(guitar). The parents are award-winning songwriters. The children’s background
is classical music — the older siblings trained at the JuilliardSchool,
and the youngest are well on their way to similar distinction. All have studied
with renowned instructors, earning awards and achievements that testify to the
depth of their artistry.From concert
tours to a discography of more than 10 projects to educational endeavors, the
Annie Moses Band is a group with a mission to help others capture the creative
call God has placed on every person. They play to inspire all generations to
join in the discipline, beauty, and excitement of highly-skilled musicianship.
They are worth hearing, and once heard, they will not be forgotten!
