NEXT UP: Sunday, May 3rd, 2026
Andrea Edith Moore
with collaborators Daniel Spiegel and Brent Shields
Soprano Andrea Edith Moore brings to her performances an “opalescence that is particularly served by her impressive phrasing and inherent musicality” (operagasm.com), and “wows audiences with her powerful and flexible soprano voice, her acting ability, and her dedication and drive” (CVNC). Andrea has enjoyed a wide range of collaborations with conductors, performing artists, and ensembles including Vladimir Ashkenazy, Gerhardt Zimmermann, David Zinman, and more. She has also worked on major collaborations with literary giants Allan Gurganus, Frances Mayes, Lee Smith, Randall Kenan, and Daniel Wallace, to name only a few.
Equally at home creating music of our time and of the distant past, she has starred in operatic roles ranging from The Governess in Britten’s Turn of the Screw, Micaëla in Carmen, Countess Almaviva in Le Nozze di Figaro, and Sara in Jennifer Higdon’s Cold Mountain. An accomplished concert soloist, she has garnered particular acclaim for her interpretations of much of the canon of Orchestral, Choral, and Operatic repertoire as well the Bach Cantatas, and German Lieder at venues such as The North Carolina Symphony, Teatro Colon, and The North Carolina Opera.
A teacher of voice for over 20 years, she currently serves on the Voice Faculty at Duke University and has educated singers at Yale University and UNC Chapel Hill. Andrea currently lives, sings, and continues to teach a full-time private studio in Durham, NC.
Daniel Spiegel
Daniel “Danny” Spiegel is a criminal practitioner by day, and a classical concert pianist by night. He holds a master’s degree in piano performance from Juilliard and a bachelor’s degree in piano performance from Peabody Conservatory at Johns Hopkins. He spent time making a living as a classical concert pianist before turning towards the law and he continues to perform piano with local musicians when he’s not busy contemplating legal issues.
Brent Shields
Brent Shields is a versatile bassist who plays with many groups across multiple genres in the Triangle. Originally from Savannah, GA, Brent studied with jazz legend Ben Tucker as a high schooler before earning a bachelor’s in Computer Science from Brown University. He came up through the Atlanta jazz scene in the early 2000s, performing with the likes of Philip Harper, Russell Gunn, and Terreon Gully before moving to Berlin, Germany later that decade. In Berlin, Brent worked as a lead engineer on Ableton Live, fusing his lifelong passions for music and technology, while performing with musicians such as Rieko Okuda, Takeshi Nishimoto, and Axel Fischbacher.

Program History
HAC is thrilled to bring back our beloved community house concerts (formerly known as the Parlor/Garden Concerts) with a fresh new feel.
For fundraising to help relaunch this program as an ongoing series, the first House Concert was held on Sunday, May 4, 2025, and featured an incredible lineup of internationally celebrated musicians Jennifer Curtis and Diali Cissokho, joined by HAC Board Member, our first House Concert host, and internationally acclaimed light lyric soprano, Arisa Sullivan.
We are thrilled to continue this tradition with you. Join us in Hillsborough homes for world-class music!
