Matilda Lloyd

Matilda Lloyd is redefining the voice of the trumpet on the world stage. She is celebrated for her flawless tone, purity of line, dynamic subtlety and virtuosity.

Recent additions to her critically acclaimed discography include Weinberg’s Trumpet Concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra and Lee Reynolds, Casta Diva with Britten Sinfonia and Rumon Gamba and Fantasia with organist Richard Gowers, pairing Baroque works with newly commissioned pieces by leading British composers.

This season’s highlights include performances of Helen Grime’s Trumpet Concerto here with BBC NOW as well as at Staatstheater Meiningen and the Gaida Festival (the latter its Lithuanian premiere). She makes her Korean debut playing the Haydn Concerto and performs Robin Haigh’s Trumpet Concerto LUCK in December. She joins pianist Federico Colli next spring for a performance and recording of Shostakovich’s Concerto for piano and trumpet with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and Dima Slobodeniouk, before rounding out the season with her concerto debut at the Schleswig-Holstein Festival.

Chamber music collaborations take her to Tokyo’s Musashino Civic Cultural Hall for her Japanese debut and to London’s Kings Place in February 2026. She appears with The Gesualdo Six at Wigmore Hall and in France.

As one of the 2024/25 European Concert Halls Organisation (ECHO) Rising Stars, she gave 18 recitals on Europe’s most prestigious stages, including the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Vienna Musikverein, Hamburg Elbphilharmonie and Philharmonie de Paris.

Music education is important to her and in September she was appointed Professor of Trumpet at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance in London. She regularly gives masterclasses at leading conservatoires and is an ambassador for the charity Brass for Africa and mentors young brass players in the UK with Future Talent.

Matilda Lloyd is a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge, and the Royal Academy of Music; she completed her studies with Håkan Hardenberger at the Malmö Academy of Music. In 2014 she won the BBC Young Musician of the Year Brass Final and made her BBC Proms solo debut two years later.

Utgorn

Mae Matilda Lloyd yn ailddiffinio llais yr utgorn ar lwyfannau’r byd. Mae hi’n enwog am ei sain berffaith, purdeb ei llinellau, cynildeb ei deinameg a’i meistrolaeth ar yr offeryn.

Ymhlith yr ychwanegiadau diweddar at ei disgograffi sydd wedi ennill clod y beirniaid, mae Concerto Weinberg i’r Utgorn gyda Cherddorfa Symffoni Llundain a Lee Reynolds, Casta Diva gyda’r Britten Sinfonia a Rumon Gamba, a Fantasia gyda’r organydd Richard Gowers, cyfuniad o weithiau Baróc a darnau newydd wedi’u comisiynu gan gyfansoddwyr blaenllaw o Brydain.

Mae ei huchafbwyntiau’r tymor hwn yn cynnwys perfformiadau o Goncerto Helen Grime i’r Utgorn yn Staatstheater Meiningen a Gŵyl Gaida (y tro cyntaf iddo gael ei berfformio yn Lithwania). Bydd hi’n perfformio am y tro cyntaf yng Nghorea yn chwarae concerto Haydn, ac yn perfformio Concerto Robin Haigh i’r Utgorn, LUCK, ym mis Rhagfyr. Mae’n ymuno â’r pianydd Federico Colli y gwanwyn nesaf ar gyfer perfformiad a recordiad o Goncerto Shostakovich ar gyfer piano ac utgorn gyda Cherddorfa Ffilharmonig Bergen a Dima Slobodeniouk, cyn gorffen y tymor gyda’i pherfformiad concerto cyntaf yng Ngŵyl Schleswig-Holstein.

Mae addysg gerddoriaeth yn bwysig iddi ac ym mis Medi fe’i penodwyd yn Athro Utgorn yn y Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance yn Llundain. Mae’n rhoi dosbarthiadau meistr yn rheolaidd mewn conservatoires blaenllaw ac mae’n llysgennad i’r elusen Brass for Africa ac yn mentora chwaraewyr pres ifanc yn y Deyrnas Unedig gyda Future Talent.
