Peter Moore

‘Moore displays an eloquence and nobility that one might have thought impossible except by the human voice’ (BBC Music Magazine upon showcasing his debut album Life Force).

Peter Moore astounds international audiences with expression directly from the soul and masterful technique, complimented by his boundless versatility and instant personal connection. He has leapt from rising star to become one of the key exponents of his instrument.

Peter has given recitals at venues including the Vienna Musikverein, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Cologne Philharmonie, Tonhalle Zürich and the Barbican Centre. He has undertaken tours across China, Japan, Korea, Australasia and South America, exhibiting a wide range of repertoire from early Baroque music to Romantic Lieder transcriptions, whilst introducing new audiences to original trombone works. In August 2022 he made his debut at the BBC Proms performing George Walker’s Trombone Concerto.

As a soloist, Peter has appeared with the London Symphony Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, BBCNOW, BBC Concert Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Ulster Orchestra, Lucerne Symphony and Polish Chamber Orchestra. He is featured frequently on BBC Radio 3 and was a New Generation Artist between 2015 and 2017.

He has given multiple performances at Wigmore Hall. World premieres by Francisco Coll, Roxanna Panufnik, Dani Howard, and the UK premiere of James Macmillan’s Trombone Concerto signify Peter’s desire to bring the trombone to the forefront of contemporary music.

Peter came to national attention in 2008 at the age of twelve when he became the youngest ever winner of the BBC Young Musician competition. He is the Principal Trombone of the London Symphony Orchestra and alongside his performing career, he is Professor of Trombone at the Royal Academy of Music. Peter Moore is a Getzen International Artist and performs on the 4147IB trombone.
