Darren Moore is a trumpet player, currently living in London.
The diversity of musical interests is something that is very important to Darren. It has led him to play Dixieland jazz at the BBC Proms in the Park, open the Scottish National Museum with Carnyx & Co. as well as chamber work with the Philharmonia Brass Quintet and many orchestral and solo performances, notably with City Chorus, and the Orchestra of the Arts.
Darren has recently been appointed principal trumpet at the Ernest Read Symphony Orchestra, an exciting orchestra with strong links to educating young people and making classical music accessible from an early age.
More recently, Darren has been asked to play with the brass quintet of the Philharmonia, the Orchestra dei Giovani Europei (Italy) and to be a trumpet coach with the UBS Orchestra in conjunction with Ben Gernon.
He learnt at first with Elaine Williams and Pauline Fisher at Kent Music School, and then privately with Tom Rainer before gaining a place at Guildhall. As a student at The Guildhall School in London, he has received lessons with Paul Archibald, Paul Beniston, Paul Cosh, Anne McAneney, and Stephen Keavy (natural trumpet).
As well as performing, Darren also enjoys teaching the trumpet, and arranging music for brass ensembles and other chamber groups, with whom he is hoping to soon record his work. He teaches trumpet up to grade 8, piano up to grade 5, grade 5 theory, and aural.
