The Arsenal Duo
Pittsburgh musicians Nathan Carterette (piano) and Edward Alan Moore (organ) have joined forces as The Arsenal Duo, presenting concerts that unite their respective instruments in a unique and spectacular fashion. They draw from a diverse repertoire, including works originally for piano and orchestra; works original to piano and organ; their own transcriptions; and solo offerings.
Formed in 2013, The Arsenal Duo made their debut performance at Youngstown, Ohio’s historic Stambaugh Auditorium, where they attracted one of the largest audiences since the restoration of the hall’s E.M. Skinner pipe organ. The duo returned to Stambaugh to record several tracks for a forthcoming recording. They have also been presented at Pittsburgh’s East Liberty Presbyterian Church and Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, Christ Episcopal Church in Warren, Ohio, and National City Christian Church in Washington, DC.
The 2015-2016 season had the duo playing concerts in Colorado, Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The 2016-2017 season includes concerts in New Canaan, CT, Wilson College in Chambersburg, PA, Dearborn, MI, Tarentum, PA, and an invitation to return to Stambaugh Auditorium on July 3, 2017 as featured performers for the Great Lakes Regional Convention of the American Guild of Organists.
Nathan Carterette
Hailed as “wonderfully poetic,” (Westfalen Post) and “very compelling in his power and presence” (International Composer), Nathan Carterette has distinguished himself in the concert world by performing a huge range of works from Elizabethan keyboard music to music written today. His innovative programming has inspired audiences to approach unfamiliar music with open ears, and familiar music with new appreciation.
Mr. Carterette has performed in such venues as Weill Recital Hall and the Yamaha Piano Salon of New York City, the Gasteig in Munich, the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe of Hamburg, and Cleveland’s Trinity Cathedral. He has been presented in several universities such as the Berklee School of Music, Cleveland Institute of Music, Radford University, Drake University, Baldwin Wallace Conservatory, and Carnegie Mellon.
Educated at Yale University, where he studied with Boris Berman, Mr. Carterette began his piano studies at the age of eleven with Cleveland’s legendary Birute and Anthony Smetona. A chance encounter in 2004 with Welsh composer-pianist Dafydd Llywelyn led to an invitation for intensive private study in Germany, both of the traditional repertoire and Llywelyn’s works.
Edward Alan Moore
Edward Alan Moore, native of Girard, OH, is Organist/Music Director at East Liberty Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh, PA. Previously he was a member of the organ faculty at The Catholic University of America Benjamin T. Rome School of Music in Washington, DC, Director of Music Ministries at The Lewinsville Presbyterian Church in McLean, VA, and Minister of Music at National City Christian Church in Washington, DC. He received the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in organ performance from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, studying organ with Michael Farris, improvisation with Gerre Hancock and Richard Erickson, and serving as research assistant for Professor Wm. A. Little.
As a recitalist, Dr. Moore was the first organist chosen to perform on the Millennium Stage concert series at the Kennedy Center in 2004. Other recitals include those at Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue in New York City, the Cathedral of Saint Philip in Atlanta, Princeton University Chapel, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles, and the Interlochen Arts Academy in Interlochen, MI.
In the past few years Dr. Moore’s performance schedule included concerts at various locations in the Pittsburgh area and at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine and the Riverside Church in New York City. As a choral accompanist, he has been the featured organist with the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh, where his performance was described as “lucid and often glorious” by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
