Host: Jeff Snedeker
The 2016 Northwest Horn Symposium was held at Central Washington University, hosted by Jeff Snedeker, from April 15-17. The featured guest artists were Gail Williams, Paul Basler, and Lowell Shaw. Two competitions were held: an "...ipperies" competition and a mock orchestra audition.
From Jeff Snedeker: "It was a wonderful time, with so much variety—Gail Williams’ world-class artistry, Paul Basler’s depth of expression, Spike Shaw’s love of the horn community through ensemble playing, plus we had several world premieres, presentations on subjects from Kopprasch to drones to practice strategies to alphorns to Globokar, and the horn in rock, jazz, and improvisational/spatial settings. Thanks to Adam Wolf, Josiah Boothby, Sean Brown, Gus Camacho, Steven Cohen, Zach Cooper, Stacey Eliason, Joe Falvey, Gina Gillie, Cynthia Hutton, Martin King, Jason Johnston, Robert Patterson, Mike Simpson, Jeb Wallace, and all the master class participants for their performances and/or presentations. And thank you to all the assisting artists that made it possible for us to hear the horn with piano, voice, percussion, violin, trombone, bass, flute, and wind quintet. Thanks to the university groups from UVU and OSU for making the trip to perform, and congrats to our competition winners from Utah Valley University and the University of Oregon!"
