Since becoming Brass Winner of the BBC Young Musician 2006, Huw Morgan has appeared in concert and recital throughout Europe, Asia and North America. Educated at Chetham's School of Music, he is currently continuing his studies as a scholar at the Royal Academy of Music under Professor James Watson, Mark David and Robert Farley.
Hailed by The Times as an artist of 'high intelligence and immaculate professionalism,' Huw recently became the youngest ever winner of both the International Trumpet Guild Solo and Orchestral competitions, and in 2010 scooped both the Wind Section Award and Philip Jones Memorial Prize at the Royal Overseas League Annual Music Competition. He is the first ever trumpeter to be selected for the Philip & Dorothy Green Award for Young Concert Artists.
As a soloist, Huw has performed with the Northern Sinfonia, Hamburg Camerata, Banff Festival Orchestra, Sinfonia Cymru and Irish Chamber Orchestra under conductors including Yan Pascal Tortelier and Thomas Zehetmair. He has appeared at festivals in Cheltenham, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and Tokyo, in recital at the Wigmore Hall, Kings Place and Bridgewater Hall, and most recently was the featured trumpeter on the soundtrack to the hit movie Me and Orson Welles. A keen exponent of contemporary music, Huw has premièred works by Eric Ewazen, Leif Segerstam and Karl Jenkins.
In addition to his solo career, Huw pursues his interest in chamber music as a founder member of brass ensemble QuintEssence, whilst orchestral work includes the LSO, Philharmonia, Hallé, Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester, NYOGB and PMF Orchestra (Japan). Throughout 2009 Huw served as Acting Associate Principal in the Helsinki Philharmonic, and is currently on trial for the Principal Trumpet positions in both the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Aurora Orchestra.
