Committed to music education, production, and performance, Jessica Bloch-Moisand is the

newly appointed Interim Artistic Director at MassOpera, and the Founder and Creative

Producer of both Bloch Performing Arts, and its collaborative music company, West End

Lyric. A new member of The Society for Performance and Visual Art, the Gena Branscombe

At Bloch Performing Arts, Jessica and her fellow teaching artists teach voice and piano

lessons in the Boston area, and hold recitals and masterclasses for their students. Additionally

she is also on the Voice Faculty of Expanded Education at the New England Conservatory

with many of her students singing at programs such as Interlochen, Brevard, the Juilliard
