MORGAN BURROUGHS: BIOGRAPHY

He discovered a passion for music when he started playing the piano at 10 years old and in time moved towards composing too, as a way of further expressing his personal creativity. He is currently studying at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance as an undergraduate in composition. 

​

His work has been called 'Chilling, thrilling and entrancing' by Stephen Fry, 'There's dissipation, despair, erotic shivering and fabulous tension in the air'. An adventurous harmonic language, intense lyricism and a colourful sense of timbre all characterise his music. Often writing for smaller ensembles, he is equally adapt composing for larger forces too.

The world of contemporary music is extraordinarily varied. For Morgan, embracing all aspects of this and taking hints of inspiration from a variety of sources, is key to creating a unique and personal sound-world.
