Mr. Morrison also served as the Principal Trumpet of the Boston Pops Orchestra from 1987-1997 and appeared frequently with that orchestra as a soloist for concerts, television broadcasts and recordings. He is a favorite soloist of Pops Conductor Laureate John Williams, who said,"he has an American sound and his sound is very touching, very beautiful. There is real serenity in his playing..." This appreciation has led John Williams and other noted Hollywood composers to feature Mr. Morrison on their filmscores. He has been featured to date on the filmscores of Born on the Fourth of July, JFK, Apollo 13, Panther, Nixon, Amistad, Saving Private Ryan and The Patriot.
A native of Oregon, Mr. Morrison began his studies with the principal trumpet of the Oregon Symphony, Fred Sautter. He is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, where he was a pupil of former Boston Symphony principal trumpeters, Roger Voisin and Armando Ghitalla. In 1980 Mr. Morrison joined the Boston as fourth trumpet and then left the orchestra in 1984 to tour and record with the renown Empire Brass, performing in over 100 concerts a year. He returned to the BSO in 1987 first as Assistant Principal, then later as Associate Principal. He is heard frequently in recital and is in demand internationally as a clinician, having been invited to work with students in Japan, Spain, Venezuela, Canada, Switzerland and the United States.
