Ruby Morgan has been described as “one of the outstanding pianists of the South,” performing solo recitals and chamber music throughout the eastern United States and Europe. She made her orchestral debut at fifteen with the Brevard Music Center Orchestra and has since performed with orchestras such diverse works as the Bartok Concerto No. 3, Saint-Saens Concerto No. 2, Liszt Concerto No. 2, Beethoven Concerto No. 3, the “Choral” Fantasy, and the Ravel Concerto for the Left Hand. She performed extensively as a member of the Heritage Chamber Players, with frequent broadcasts on South Carolina Public Radio.

In addition to traditional solo programs, Morgan has presented commentary-concerts of works by women composers on campuses and before groups such as the International Congress of Women in Music and the South-Atlantic College Music Society. While dealing with the frustrations of focal dystonia in her right hand, she has presented numerous programs of music for the left hand alone, including recitals for the Musica de Camera Series at Spoleto USA, the St. Andrew Musical Society and the Music @ Ascension Series in New York City, as well as presentations at the National Meeting of the College Music Society, the New York Piano Teachers’ Congress, the SCMTA State Conference, and the MTNA National Conference in Austin.

Morgan serves as Professor of Piano at Furman University and has had students as winners in both state and national competitions. She also has served as adjudicator for various levels of competitions as well as lecturer for workshops on piano playing. For eight summers she was a member of the Artist-Faculty of the Brevard Music Center and later assisted at the Taubman Piano Institute at Amherst and Williams Colleges.
