Born in Paris in 1994, Edgar began studying the cello at the age of 4 with Carlos Beyris (studying piano as well, completing his studies in 2010 at the Conservatory of Boulogne-Billancourt). He perfected his studies with Xavier Gagnepain and attended the class of Philippe Muller at the National Superior Conservatory of Paris for Music and Dance. He attended the master classes of Mario Brunello, Miklos Perenyi, Gary Hoffman, Frans Helmerson and David Geringas, and lessons at the Académie Verbier, the Kronberg Academy, etc.

In 2011, Edgar Moreau was invited to give a recital at the Concert Hall of the Mariinsky Theater (St. Petersburg) and in 2012 he was a guest of the Festival Beethoven of Warsaw, and the Festivals of Deauville, Radio France, Montpellier, Saint-Denis, L’Orangerie de Sceaux, Les Flâneries de Reims, etc.
