Kaitlin Wild

Trumpet

Kaitlin grew up playing the Cornet in brass bands, and went on to study the Trumpet at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and the Royal Academy of Music. Alongside her studies Kaitlin also took part in the LSO Brass Academy and the European Union Youth Orchestra.

After several years of freelancing in orchestras across the UK, Kaitlin joined the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra as Principal Second Trumpet before taking up her current position as Sub-Principal Trumpet with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. When not performing, she enjoys teaching at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, and is also a Bach Brass Artist. 

Kaitlin first worked with Septura when she took part in a side-by-side project in 2018, during her studies at the Royal Academy of Music. Having now worked on a number of projects with Septura over the last few years (including another side-by-side project with RAM in 2024 but on the “other side”), Kaitlin has always loved being a part of the exceptional level of chamber music-making that takes place in rehearsals, concerts, recordings, and tours. She is thrilled to now be joining the group as a member.
