Fresh Ayre Music (J. David Moore) Distributed by Graphite Publishing

J. David Moore is a composer, arranger, conductor, teacher, and Southerner who has lived in the Upper Midwest for most of his life. His music has been called “endlessly inventive,” “glorious…haunting…breathtaking,” and “joyous…wild and elemental.” He publishes through his company Fresh Ayre Music, and is the founder and conductor of The First Readings Project, a chamber choir that acts as a resource for composers in the development and promotion of new work.

He lives with his wife Anna in Minneapolis, where he bakes bread, drinks tea, and is distracted by beauty.
