Overview
Despite his youth, belied by an indisputable creative maturity, Eddie Mora (San José de Costa Rica, 1965) has gained a place among the leading figures on the Latin American contemporary music scene. Trained at the Castella Conservatory and the University of Costa Rica’s School of Musical Arts, he subsequently moved to Moscow, where he lived from 1983 to 1992 perfecting his technique as a violinist and composer, returning in 2003 to complete his studies with Yuri Vorontsov.
Mora’s work stands out for its enormous conceptual and artistic breadth, evidenced in such impressive orchestral and vocal works as Concierto para marimba y orquesta (1996), Cantata (1998), based on poems by Federico García Lorca, or Tres fragmentos orquestales (2006). His chamber music output is similarly diverse in its conception, and experiments with novel instrumental combinations of great chromatic beauty, from the expressive force of Fragmentos I para septeto to the more meditative passages of Silencio I-IV or the versatility of La niña y el viento, a piece included here in its version for strings, synthesizer and piano, which was written for the Amighetti tribute premiered at Costa Rica’s National Theater in September 2008.
