2021 Northwest Horn Symposium
A Virtual Symposium
hosted by the Seattle Symphony Horns and Horn Hippie Media
April, 2021
Like many events in 2021, including IHS 53, the 2021 Northwest Horn Symposium was held online.
The Seattle Symphony Horns (SSO Horns) and Horn Hippie Media hosted the 2021 Northwest Horn Symposium in April in a virtual setting. Horn players tuned in from all over the world for a series of presentations, recitals, competitions, and masterclasses. Featured Artists David Byrd-Marrow and David Cooper each presented a pre-recorded recital and gave a live masterclass to the winners of the solo competitions, while the Seattle Symphony Horns presented a masterclass featuring the winners of the low and high horn excerpt competitions. The SSO Horns presented a pre-recorded recital of arrangements ranging from Florence Price’s organ work Adoration to the Finale of Dvořák Symphony No. 8 (complete with mellophone fanfare!) to pop star Robyn’s Indestructible with electronic drum track. The SSO Horns performed Schumann’s Konzertstück with the Seattle Symphony, which was live-streamed. Horn/media legend Sarah Willis joined in with a special episode of Horn Hangouts with the SSO Horns, and podcaster Adam Wolf presented a special live episode of Pathways featuring the pop horn quartet Genghis Barbie.
In addition to the featured artists, numerous Contributing Artists submitted video recordings of presentations and performances. As the program attests, the online offerings came from individuals and groups well beyond the Pacific Northwest.
