Moira Lo Bianco '12 is a bona fide triple threat as a composer, arranger, and pianist. Taking an organic approach to transcending genre, Lo Bianco has explored a range of musical traditions, including Indian, Middle Eastern, flamenco, classical, and jazz. Hailing from Italy, Lo Bianco studied at conservatories in her home country before graduating from Berklee last year. Her musical collaborators include Simon Shaheen, Marco Pignataro, Kinan Azmeh, and Arooj Aftab. Lo Bianco recently launched a workshop series entitled Improvisation for Classical Pianists, in partnership with M. Steinert & Sons.

This week's podcast features a track from Lo Bianco's debut full-length album, Lunaria, released in 2013.
