Thomas Moore: musician, researcher, teacher
Thomas R. Moore (Royal Conservatoire Antwerp) is a musician, researcher and teacher. He investigates the changing expectations of composers and artistic leaders with regard to performing musicians in contemporary music and performing arts, such as an increasingly flexible employability. He studies how musicians adapt to these demands and how they develop new skills for coping with this subordinate role. Within Royal Conservatoire Antwerp, he is also a teacher and section chairperson of the brass section.
