Derek Mo.

Violist/Pianist Derek is an avid solo and chamber musician, fluent in the spectrum of repertoire from Bach to the current day. Praised by critics for his “full-toned” and “expert category” playing, he continues to bring moving and deeply interpreted performances to audiences throughout the country. Not one to shrink from a challenge, he was invited to solo in Mozart’s “Sinfonia Concertante” with Boston’s Symphony by the Sea on 24 hours notice. Currently a violist with the New World Symphony, Mosloff frequently performs with some of the greatest conductors and soloists of our day. He is also a recurring violist for the Chelsea Music Festival in New York City directed by Ken-David and Melinda Lee Masur. Before winning the New World position, Mosloff was an active performer in the Boston area, and served as the principal viola of the Orchestra of Indian Hill, as well as a violist in the Discovery Ensemble, and many others. In 2008 Mosloff was awarded a fellowship to Tanglewood Music Center, and he has been invited to return for 2009, 2010, and as a New Fromm player for the 2011 and now 2012 seasons. Alongside his orchestral work, he is on faculty of the SoBe Institute of the Arts in Miami Beach.
