Our Musical Director – Jenny Morgan
Jenny was born in Southport and studied French Horn under the tuition of Alfred Dowling in Liverpool and Anthony Halstead in London. She was a member of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and has subsequently played with symphony orchestras throughout the United Kingdom.
Jenny read music at Jesus College, Oxford University where she was awarded a University Association Award for the Arts and undertook a wealth of orchestral and chamber playing, notably performing the Britten Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings in the University Church and the Schubert Octet with the Allegri Quartet. It was at Oxford that she first undertook responsibility for rehearsing and directing the college choir. She was also Musical Director of the Oxford University Dramatic Society (OUDS) where she wrote scores for over a dozen university productions, several of which transferred to the Edinburgh Festival and later toured abroad.
After working as an orchestral musician, Jenny changed direction and worked in Financial Services in London. She founded the Stewkley Singers in 2006 and, after having her children, was Head of Music in an independent school for twelve years. She now undertakes a variety of work as a horn player and animateur. She is also a member of the Oxford based Pavlova Quintet, with whom she performs regularly in the United Kingdom and abroad.
