The Orchestra Horn: A Musical History

Description

Find out how the horn evolved through time, around the world, and how it ended up as the soul of the orchestra! The Symphony presents its horns from pre-history to the modern day orchestra horn. Instruments will include sea shells, animal horns, and early man-made wood and metal instruments. We’ll journey from the Baroque era, to Classical, Romantic, and through 20th and 21st century compositions, with slight detours to Manhattan, Hollywood, and Chicago! Come one hour early to enjoy a pre-concert reception, including hors d'oeuvres and drinks!
