Nine Orchard Presents: Kelly Moran

Take in the extraordinary sonic expression of Kelly Moran while surrounded by New York City’s winter night skyline—inside the Greenhouse at Nine Orchard.

Moran is a New York-based composer and pianist who has spent her career excavating the tactile possibilities of the piano. In the past decade, Moran has released numerous acclaimed albums that have challenged the piano’s traditional, classically-imposed school of thought with a more contemporary approach. Her unique strand of experimental compositions, which conjure hypnotizing textures and dramatic compositional arcs, have been included on year-end lists across classical, avant-garde, and metal genres.

Her most recent album, Don’t Trust Mirrors (Warp Records), effortlessly bends expectations. Back in 2019, fresh from touring her Warp debut Ultraviolet, she began shaping a more rhythmic follow-up inspired by late nights on the dancefloor. But personal upheaval and the halted tours of the pandemic redirected her path, leading first to 2024’s Moves in the Field, praised by The New York Times as “softhearted but steel-skinned.” Don’t Trust Mirrors, released in October 2025, continues in that direction.

An accomplished and highly sought-after composer, Moran has collaborated with visionary contemporaries including FKA Twigs, Yves Tumor, The Avalanches, Kelsey Lu, Oneohtrix Point Never, and classical musician Margaret Leng Tan.
