The 1980 Horn Symposium was my first, as well. I met Frank Brouk, Phil Farkas, Meir Rimon and Alan Civil…and a whole bunch of crazy college players that are now playing and teaching all over the world. Gail Williams was the Heldenleben winner, and played a flawless recital. Herman Bauman played so well, I wondered if he was human! The Symposia are essential to anyone hoping to improve their knowledge and skills on the horn, plus it’s a great opportunity to network and study with masters of the instrument. It should also be noted that college and military representatives often recruit people there, if one is so inclined. The exhibitors include All of the custom horn makers, and everything one needs as a horn player from music to mutes. It’s ideal, if you’re looking to improve your toolkits and libraries. ❤ IHS ❤️ 💜Nancy💜
