Originally from Guangzhou, China, Junda Wu is a trombonist and pianist based in London. He began studying piano at the age of nine before taking up the trombone, and his musical practice spans orchestral performance, solo repertoire and chamber music.
He has served as principal trombonist with the Guangzhou Youth Symphony Orchestra and the Greater Bay Area Youth Orchestra. His orchestral experience includes concert tours across China and engagements with the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra. As a pianist, he has given numerous solo recitals and received first prize in chamber music at an international music festival in Germany.
Junda is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Music at the Royal Academy of Music, supported by an Entrance Scholarship and the Mark Elliott Award. His recording projects include New, devoted to French trombone repertoire. He is also preparing a Rachmaninoff recital programme with pianist Chuyu Wang, including a trombone adaptation of the Cello Sonata, Op. 19.
Alongside performing, he works with recording and audio production, exploring how musical expression can be shaped both on stage and in the studio.
