She is a member of the award-winning wind quintet The City of Tomorrow, Boston’s new music sinfonietta Sound Icon, and the adventurous bass clarinet collective Improbable Beasts. She is also a founding member of the internationally renowned Talea Ensemble, which regularly premieres new compositions around the world. Moore is a frequent guest with many ensembles, including the Boston Ballet Orchestra, International Contemporary Ensemble, Emmanuel Music, A Far Cry, Boston Modern Orchestra Project, and NOW Ensemble.
She has performed and recorded with legendary saxophonist and MacArthur fellow Steve Coleman, cuban pianist/composer David Virelles, and will appear on a forthcoming album on Edition Records with Chris Potter and Bill Frisell.

Yoko Hagino was born and raised in Japan.

She also earned an Artist Diploma from the Longy School of Music, where she studied with Victor Rosenbaum, as well as the Performance Diploma at Boston Conservatory, where she was a student of Michael Lewin. She also studied with Seymour Lipkin privately.
Besides numerous performances in Japan, Yoko Hagino performed at Jordan Hall in Boston, at the William Kapell Music Festival, at Steinway and Sons in Kamen, Germany, and appeared live on Suisse Romande Radio in Switzerland.
