CIARA MOSER
Modern Jazz
Ciara Moser’s identity has shaped her unique journey through life and music in a profound way.
Dublin-born, Austria-raised, and currently Boston-based, CIARA MOSER is a professional bassist and someone who has been blind since birth.
Moser showcases her versatility across various musical styles and genres, seamlessly blending into band, orchestra, film, and ensemble projects, both in live performances and studio sessions.
She earned her Master’s in jazz performance from the Berklee Global Jazz Institute at Berklee College of Music under the guidance of esteemed mentors like John Patitucci, Danilo Perez, Terri Lyne Carrington, and Victor Wooten. Additionally, she holds a master’s degree in music pedagogy from the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna.
During her time pursuing her Master’s Degree at the Berklee Global Jazz Institute, she was deeply inspired by the theme of using music as a vehicle for social change and enhanced her skills for playing & composing with intention and zeal. This shaped her goals for sharing her message through music in the form of a debut studio album centered around her journey on blindness.
In October 2023, Moser released her debut album, “Blind. So What?” receiving praise and reviews from several major publications, and was honored with the 2023 “Young Jazz Composers Award” by the ASCAP Foundation.
Moser’s talent and dedication have earned her various awards such as winning the “2024 Next Jazz Legacy” award, and the 2024 “New generation jazz lab competition”, securing a spot in the Jazz Ahead Program led by Jason Moran, and Woodshed Network Residency led by Dee Dee Bridgewater.
