About Ashley Hall-Tighe:

 

Ashley Hall-Tighe is an internationally renowned trumpet soloist, chamber musician, educator, and life coach and her passion for authentic human connection drives every facet of her career.

 

As a soloist, Ashley has been praised for her “energetic joy” (Rochester Post Bulletin) and her “warm tone, stunning technique and expressive artistry” (Cincinnati Enquirer).

 

In 2024-2025, she performed as a soloist and chamber musician throughout Europe, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada and the United States. She has been the principal trumpet of the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra since 2008 and from August 2023 - May 2024, Ashley was a touring member of the world-renowned Canadian Brass.

 

Ashley released her debut classical solo album with pianist Ana Maria Otamendi, Upcycle, in the fall of 2024 on Rezurrection Records. This collection of transcriptions for trumpet and piano created by Nathaniel Tighe offers a vision of what might have been possible if the modern trumpet was a solo instrument at the time these works were conceived.

 

As an educator, Ashley combines her passion for whole-person development with a methodical approach to improvement. She is on the trumpet faculty at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and is a sought-after clinician at music schools around the globe. As a credentialed life coach, Ashley is passionate about helping individuals unlock their potential, build mental resilience and align their creative lives with their values.
