Horn players from everywhere and of all ages are will be welcomed to a day of music-making and masterclasses with public concerts at 1:30 pm and 6:30 pm on Sunday, Jan 19 at Western Michigan University’s Irving S. Gilmore School of Music. Horn professor Lin Baird tells Cara Lieurance she’s invited the Grand Rapids Symphony horn section to participate as guest artists, and that her students will be an essential part of the event. Also joining the conversation is GRSO horn player Mary Beth Orr, who talks about her colleagues in the section and about her passion for combining folk and classical music on her solo programs.
Registration for horn players is $30 in advance and at the door. The public concerts at 1:30 and 6:30 pm are free of charge.
