Naomi Moon Siegel

Born: August 18, 1984

An award-winning trombonist, improviser, composer, and educator, Naomi Moon Siegel is committed to creating a positive, transformative music culture beyond conventional genre norms. Her original musical vocabulary draws on the richness of a variety of global musical traditions and the sonorities of the natural world.

Siegel has been an innovative performer and recording artist since graduating from Oberlin Conservatory in 2006. She explores the trombone as a vehicle for sonic expression colored by breath, spit, and physicality. As a composer and bandleader, Siegel has released two albums to critical acclaim. Her third album, “Shatter The Glass Sanctuary,” produced by Siegel and Allison Miller, is slated to come out in 2024, inspired by the theme of holding paradox in our troublesome and beautiful world.
