Lisa Moore is an Australian pianist based in New York City.
Moore was born in Canberra, Australia, one of three children to an art historian and a prominent economist. Her early life included overseas travel, and by the age of 16 she had visited more than a dozen countries and lived in Sydney and London. Her development as an artist can be traced to her formative years in Canberra during the 1970s. A succession of "strange and interesting people" through her childhood included the Australian painter Charles Blackman. Moore was raised in both Australia and London. She studied piano at the Sydney Conservatorium from 1976 until 1980 before moving to the US to complete her musical training. With an Alliance Française grant, Moore spent a year in Paris before moving back to the US and settling in New York City in 1985.
Moore is a graduate of the University of Illinois, Eastman School of Music, and SUNY Stony Brook. Her past piano teachers include Gilbert Kalish, David Burge, Yvonne Loriod, Benjamin Kaplan, Albert Landa, Sonya Hanke, Alan Jenkins, Wilma McKeown, and Larry Sitsky.
