Trombonist Peter Moore is joined by mezzo-soprano Anna Huntley and pianist Michael McHale to perform their own arrangement of music by Schumann, Schubert and more, followed by a set of lighter works by Novello, Kurt Weil, and Manning Sherwin.

ABOUT PETER MOORE

Moore displays an eloquence and nobility that one might have thought impossible except by the human voice,’ effused BBC Music Magazine. Indeed, his sensitivity of expression, command of technique and versatility has made Peter Moore one of the most exciting and well-respected exponents of the trombone today.

Born in Belfast and brought up in Greater Manchester, Moore was part of the world-renowned Brass Band culture in the North of England – experiences which proved crucial to his rapid development as a very young player. He came to international attention in 2008 when, aged 12, he became the youngest ever winner of BBC Young Musician, kickstarting a solo career that continues to go from strength to strength. A busy schedule has since seen him perform with some of the Europe’s leading orchestras, including the BBC, London and Lucerne Symphony orchestras, BBC Concert Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Polish Chamber Orchestra and Ulster Orchestra. He has also given recitals at some of the world’s most prestigious venues and festivals: Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, the Cologne Philharmonie, Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, London’s Barbican Centre and Wigmore Hall, the Spoleto Festival USA, Vienna’s Musikverein and Zurich’s Tonhalle, to name a few. Meanwhile, tours have taken him as far as Australasia, China, Japan, South America and South Korea, and from 2015 to 2017 he was a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist.

Moore’s repertoire stretches from the early Baroque via Romantic lieder transcriptions to contemporary works. A proud exponent of new music, he has premiered trombone works written for him by Francisco Coll (Chanson et Bagatelle), Roxanna Panufnik (When You Appear) and Dani Howard (Trombone Concerto) and many others. He also gave the UK premiere of Sir James MacMillan’s Trombone Concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra, and the European premiere of Joe Chindamo’s “Ligeia” with the National Symphony Orchestra in Dublin. He continues to collaborate closely with composers to fully realise the potential of the trombone on the solo stage.

Concerto highlights include performances in Suntory Hall, Tokyo with Sir Simon Rattle and the BBC Proms with Vasily Petrenko – the first trombone soloist at the festival for nearly 20 years. The performance was widely praised: ‘There are very few players with the charismatic presence and variety in their sound … who can hold interest through long phrases as Moore always does,’ wrote The Arts Desk. The Times noted Moore’s ‘hot lyricism’, while the Telegraph admired how he ‘married the elegance of a ballroom dancer with the lyrical tenderness of a violinist’.

Moore’s debut album Life Force was released in June 2018. Accompanied by James Baillieu, the record features a selection of lieder arranged for trombone and piano as well as works originally written for trombone. The album earned a five- star review from BBC Music Magazine, while Gramophone praised Moore’s ‘genuine sympathy’ and ‘long, carefully phrased lines’.

Moore is the former Principal Trombone of the London Symphony Orchestra, joining in 2014 as the youngest ever player. After 10 years, he resigned in order to focus on his career as a soloist. He is currently a professor at the Royal Academy of Music, London and has given masterclasses all over the world in institutions including the Juilliard School, Paris Conservatoire, and New England Conservatory.
