Dylan Thomas Chmura-Moore, a trombonist and conductor, is a musician
that looks to the past for foundation while creating new. A performer
and advocate of music written today, Dylan has had a voice in the
premiers of over twenty compositions. From combining music of
antiquity with contemporary improvisation, to erasing the line between
the solo musician and theatrical performer, Dylan enjoys new and
original endeavors to which he may articulate his unique voice. With a
love for all music and differing forms of art, many of his influences
and inspirations are gathered from his interests outside the music
world nurturing analysis and interpretation.
Dylan has performed throughout the United States and Europe in some of
the worlds most celebrated concert venues such as Severance Hall,
Symphony Hall, and Carnegie Hall. He is an active chamber, solo, and
orchestral musician, and teacher and coach of all abilities. He can be
heard on Mode, New World, and the TZADIK Record label, among others.
Dylan holds two master degrees from New England Conservatory in
Boston, Massachusetts. Upon graduation he was awarded academic
honors, a distinction in performance, and the Gunther Schuller Medal,
the highest honor awarded by the conservatory.
Currently, Dylan is a candidate for the degree Doctor of Musical Arts
at University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is a Paul Collins Wisconsin
Distinguished Graduate Fellow at the university and is focusing his
studies on the research and performance of newly composed music. Also,
he is Artistic Director of New Music School in Chicago, Lecturer of
Music at University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, where he teaches trombone,
and is a member of the brass quintet Ars Ventus.
