David Childs
studied at the Royal Northern College of Music and at the Royal
welsh College of Music and Drama, where he gained a Masters degree

He has already emerged as one of the finest brass soloists in
the world today, having appeared as soloist with the BBC
National Orchestra of Wales, Royal Philharmonic, BBC Concert
Orchestra, Sinfonia Cymru and BBC Philharmonic; given concerto
performances at the BBC Proms, Cheltenham Festival, Harrogate
International Festival, Welsh Proms and New York Festival;

Bridgewater Hall and London’s Royal Albert Hall; and regularly

Inspired by his father Robert, David began playing the euphonium at
an early age. Today he is in great demand as soloist and educator
touring regularly throughout Europe, Australia, the Middle East,
Japan, Hong Kong, and the USA. In 2010 he made his debut in New
York performing Karl Jenkins’ Concerto for Euphonium and Orchestra
at the prestigious Carnegie Hall. 2011 sees him give the UK
premiere of Christian Lindberg’s Euphonium Concerto with the RWCMD
Chamber Orchestra.
David is enjoying leading the way for a new generation of euphonium
players worldwide, cementing a place for his instrument as a
genuine solo voice within the classical world of music. For further
