Moises Carrasco is a bassist who “provides propulsion and support…with his keen attention and vivid playing”. The son of a Tubist and organ builder, Moises was involved with youth orchestras at a young age. He cycled through percussion and trumpet before finally discovering the bass. After many years of ensembles in the New England area, Moises was accepted to the Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan where he studied with Derek Weller. He pursued his collegiate studies at the New England Conservatory of Music (NEC) studying with Orpheus Chamber Orchestra’s Donald Palma and the Boston Symphony’s Thomas Van Dyck. He credits all of his teachers and his parents for shaping him into the musician he is today. Moises holds a Bachelor’s Degree and a Graduate Diploma from NEC.

Specializing in orchestral music, Moises has played with ensembles across North America and Europe. He has performed in such prestigious venues as: Dvorak Hall in Prague, Royal Albert Hall in London, Musikverein in Vienna, Symphony Hall in Boston, the Koussevitsky Shed at Tanglewood and many more. Moises can be heard performing with orchestras including Portsmouth Symphony, Symphony By The Sea, Cape Symphony, New Bedford Symphony, Boston Pops Orchestra and the Pittsburgh Symphony.

Moises is appreciative of all genres of music and is always looking for something new. When not playing bass, Moises is often playing basketball or listening to MF DOOM.
