Timothy Morrison's career orchestral soloist, recording artist, and master teacher spans over two decades. As an orchestral soloist, Mr. Morrison inspires audiences with his singing, lyric sound and purity of tone. He has appeared with orchestras in the United States and abroad. At the invitation of Seiji Ozawa, he was a featured player in a series of concerts with the New Japan Philharmonic in Tokyo and appears regularly with Ozawa's famed Saito Kinen Orchestra.

Former Principal Trumpet of the Boston Pops Orchestra, he has 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. This appreciation has led Williams and other noted film composers to write specifically for Mr. Morrison in their scores. He is heard as soloist in Born on the 4th of July, JFK, Apollo 13, Nixon, Amistad, and Saving Private Ryan.

He has also appeared with the Oregon Symphony, the Boston Classical Orchestra, the Albany Symphony, the Pacific Symphony, the New Hampshire Symphony, the Orquesta Sinfonica del Estado de Mexico, the Caracas Philharmonic, the Tapei Sinfonetta, the Stavanger Symphony, and with the Great Woods Festival Orchestra.

At the age of 24 Mr. Morrison joined the Boston Symphony Orchestra as fourth trumpet. In 1984 he left the orchestra to tour and record with the acclaimed Empire Brass, performing in over 100 concerts a year. He returned to the BSO in 1987, first as Assistant Principal and then later as Associate Principal.

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. 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.
