Horn Day
Horn Day is an annual festival at Western
open to anyone who is interested in learning more about the
horn. This fun-filled event includes an entire day
of horn activities, including a guest artist master class
and recital, a solo competition, a recital by the WMU Horn
Choir and WMU student soloists, and a chance for all participants
to play in the Mass Horn Choir, which rehearses during the
day and performs in the final concert. Past guest artists
include William Barnewitz, Principal Horn, Milwaukee Symphony
Orchestra; Michelle Reed Baker, Second horn, Metropolitan
Opera Orchestra and faculty member at The Manhattan School
of Music; Jeff Agrell, Horn Professor at the University of
Iowa; Douglas Hill, Horn Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison;
and Karl Pituch, Principal Horn, Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
More details on Horn Day 2009 will be posted
next fall.
