HUW MORGAN
HUW LLEWELYN MORGAN was born in Newport, South Wales, in 1975. He read
music at St Edmund Hall (University of Oxford) where he was organ scholar; following a
career in the financial services, Huw graduated in 2007 from the Royal Academy of
Music, winning the Olwen Doreen Leyshorn prize, after studying choral conducting.
Huw is currently director of the Redland Green Choir and the Clifton Singers in Bristol,
and of Weston Choral Society; previous posts include the Merbecke Choir of Southwark
Cathedral and organist of St Laurence Church, Catford, in south London.
Huw is an advocate for contemporary and experimental music: in Bristol and beyond, he
seeks to bring both new repertoire and audiences to the organ. He also is a founder
member of Automatronic, a collective that explores, creates and promotes new music
for organ with electronics.
Huw′s compositions have been performed at festivals and venues across the UK, Europe
and North America. Recent commissions have included a joint project for a large-scale
choral work for Ipswich Choral Society and Dance East, and a piece for two organs with
electronics for the organ department of Arizona State University.
Huw is also a keen photographer and above all enjoys spending time with his wife and
two young daughters.
