Matilda Lloyd | leading trumpeter of her generation
Celebrated for her vibrant performances and hailed as a "superstar soloist," Matilda Lloyd's playing ranges from majestic and bold to intimate and graceful. Her charismatic stage presence and powerful playing are spellbinding - be sure to experience it live at Swaledale Festival!
"I’m delighted to be returning to Swaledale Festival this year, performing for the first time with Delyana Lazarova and the Royal Northern Sinfonia. I always enjoy performing the Haydn Trumpet Concerto; especially the lyrical second movement and the cheerful finale! I am especially looking forward to the beautiful surroundings and the warmth of the audience, both experienced during my concert in 2021 in Grinton with my trumpet ensemble.”
