Huw Morgan
Huw recently performed at the Holy Cross Church, Cowbridge in the Wynne Evans & Friends Gala Concert, which was held as part of the first ever Cowbridge Music Festival week.
Fęted by The Times (London) as an artist of ‘high intelligence and immaculate professionalism,’ Huw Morgan has emerged in recent years as one of Britain’s leading young musical talents. With a repertoire ranging from the earliest works of the baroque trumpet to the most demanding contemporary concerti, Huw’s unique artistry and musicianship has been acclaimed throughout the UK, Europe, Asia and North America.
Born in South Wales in 1987, Huw began his musical education on the trumpet aged seven, presenting his first recital four years later. At the age of fourteen he won a scholarship to study with John Dickinson and Murray Greig at Chetham’s School of Music, where he won all the major prizes. In 2010, Huw graduated from the Royal Academy of Music with First Class Honours, studying under Professor James Watson, Mark David, Howard Snell and Robert Farley.
Highlights of his 2010/11 season include concerto performances with The Orchestra of the Swan, Lichfield Sinfonia and National Youth Wind Ensemble, premičres of works by Paul Max Edlin and Olga Neuwrith, as well as recitals at the Sounds New Festival, St Martin-in-the-Fields and the Purcell Room (under the auspices of the Park Lane Group). Huw’s CV is so immense that we don’t have room to fit any more information into our programme (and he is only 22 years of age), but you can see all of Huw’s amazing experiences listed on his web site www.huwmorgan.net.
What link does Huw have to Music in the Vale? He entered and won the 2003 intermediate Young Instrumentalist competition. Huw actually competed on the piano that year but his musicianship must have been obvious whatever the instrument. In the same year he won third prize in the Texaco Young Musician of Wales competition (on the trumpet) and there has obviously been no stopping him ever since.
