La Serenissima
I’m very fortunate to be married to a man with an orchestra! Ade Chandler has been my husband since 1998 and my soulmate for a few years longer. He and his team of virtuoso players form the orchestra and chamber ensembles of La Serenissima (The serene republic of Venice), and are simply amazing. Repertoire with which I am involved includes Vivaldi cantatas, motets, arias and serenatas, Vinaccesi ensemble motets, Abinoni serenatas and various vocal works by Monteverdi, Giacomelli and Hasse mostly written and originally performed in Venice.

One of the best things about being a musician is that you meet and work with really great people. As well as being a running and yoga buddy, Julia Gooding is a fabulous singer and colleague, and together we have joined forces with the crème de la crème of continuo players, Paula Chateauneuf and Gary Cooper to perform French Baroque music for two sopranos and continuo. For details of sacred and operatic programmes of stunning music by Charpentier and Lully please visit:

With colleagues such as Valerie Masterson, Rosa Mannion, Anne Howells, Majellagh Cullagh, Gail Pearson & Anne-Marie Gibbons, Gerald Moore presents soirees of popular & little-known songs and duets (and the occasional trio in which the Maestro joins).
These programmes explore the world of the musical salon, with repertoire by Bellini, Beethoven, Gounod, Saint-Saens, Debussy, Massenet, Gabussi and even Handel & Purcell. Invoking the type of gathering with which great divas such as Jenny Lind and Pauline Viardot would have been familiar.
The repertoire has been rapturously received by audiences at festivals and London concert halls such as the Wigmore Hall, and featured on BBC Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’.
