Alita Moses
BM '15
Since winning the prestigious 2014 Montreux Jazz Vocal Competition in Switzerland as a junior at UArts, Alita Moses returned there to attend the 1st Montreux Jazz Academy, working with greats such as Patti Austin, Sonny Emory, Lee Ritenour and Charles Lloyd. In July, she returned to open for Al Jarreau in the 2015 Montreux Jazz Festival.
Her ambitiousness is evident in her work with the Hartford Symphony Orchestra and The Philadelphia Pops Orchestra as well as solo artists and bands such as Larry McKenna, Matt McAndrew, ILL DOOTS, Steve Davis, Joel Frahm and many others.
In 2016, she toured throughout Europe with a New York-based pianist, Walter Fischbacher, and his quartet. Whether on the stage or in the studio, she brings exceptional talent and a natural warmth to each performance, and wows audiences with grace and a musical maturity beyond her years.
