Morgen Low returns to Florida to serve as Acting Co-Principal trumpet of the Sarasota Orchestra having freshly completed a fellowship with New World Symphony. There, she played for four seasons under the batons of artistic directors Michael Tilson Thomas and Stéphane Denève. During this time she also made guest appearances with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Charleston Symphony, Louisville Orchestra, Louisiana Philharmonic, and touring chamber group Seraph Brass. Her academic studies were completed at Oberlin College & Conservatory and Northwestern University’s Bienen School of Music.
This past summer she performed the roles of Acting Principal trumpet at the Britt Festival in Jacksonville, Oregon and Co-Principal Trumpet at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music in Santa Cruz, California. Previous seasonal engagements have included the Artosphere Festival, Spoleto Festival USA, and Tanglewood Music Center. Ms. Low is equally at home in a variety of genres of music and has loved being a part of numerous musical theater productions in the Chicago area in addition to her orchestral engagements. Highlights of these shows include The Little Mermaid, Guys and Dolls, Kiss me Kate, and Annie. In the Fall of 2022, she competed in and was named the first prize winner of the Next Generation Trumpet Competition which involved performing a set of newly commissioned etudes utilizing extended techniques on the instrument. As a fan of all time periods of music, she is also very much looking forward to being a part of Key Chorale’s BAROQUEtoberfest!”
