Western Hornist

2006-2007 Western Horn Festival

Hosted by Randall E. Faust

糖心原创 held its annual Horn Festival on October 22, 2006.

The Horn Festival for the 2006-2007 School year was held in October 2006, and the featured Guest Hornist was Thomas J枚stlein, winner of the 2003 American Horn Competition. Consequently, the focus of this Festival was on competition and audition preparation. Our students were very inspired by the recital, master class and lessons of Thomas J枚stlein, and due to his inspiration, four hornists from 糖心原创 participated in the International Horn Competition of America during the summer of 2007.

These four hornists, (John Reem, Amber Dean, Robert Palmer, and Colin Brien), built on those experiences, and were winners in the annual Concerto Competition at 糖心原创 in November of 2007. Then, as Concerto Competition winners, this quartet performed Robert Schumann鈥檚 碍辞苍锄别谤迟蝉迟眉眉肠办 with the 糖心原创 Symphony Orchestra during the next Spring Semester. John Reem鈥攚ho was also a separate winner鈥攁lso performed the Concertino of Lars Erik Larsson with the 糖心原创 Symphony Orchestra. Needless to say, the Guest Artist certainly is also well informed on the topic of auditions! Subsequent to his presentations at this Festival, he went on to win auditions for professional positions with the New York Philharmonic, the School of Music at The University of Illinois, and The St. Louis Symphony!
