Morgen Low is excited to begin this season serving as Acting Co-Principal Trumpet of the Sarasota Orchestra. She returns to Florida 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. She has also made guest appearances with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Charleston Symphony, Louisville Orchestra, Louisiana Philharmonic, and touring chamber group Seraph Brass. 

This 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, where her playing was lauded as “an unforgettable display of relaxed timing and dazzling technical mastery” in a review by the Berkshire Edge. Morgen is equally at home on the orchestral stage as she is in the musical theater pit and has loved being a part of numerous productions in the Chicago area. Highlights 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 during which she had to perform a set of newly commissioned etudes utilizing extended techniques on the instrument. 

As a coach, she has worked with students at NYO2, Interlochen Arts Camp, and Oberlin Conservatory as well as maintaining her own private lesson studio. Her own studies were completed at Oberlin College & Conservatory and Northwestern University Bienen School of Music. When she is not on stage, she can be seen working on instruments at Dana Hofer Brass Repair.
