Boldin says, “The International Horn Symposium is the annual meeting of the International Horn Society, and brings together hundreds of students, professional musicians, university faculty, and other educators for a week of performances, master classes, and presentations dedicated to the French horn. This year’s symposium was the first to be held in-person since 2019 and was the first international symposium these students have attended. We are extremely grateful to ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ and the ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ Foundation for making this opportunity possible.â€Ìý
