MONROE, LA – The University of Louisiana Monroe Horn Ensemble recently attended and performed at
the 2024 Southeast Horn Workshop, held on the campus of the University of Georgia
in Athens, GA on February 23-25, 2024.
This regional conference featured performances and masterclasses by renowned guest
artists and pedagogues, including Richard Deane of the New York Philharmonic and Victoria
Knudtson of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. The ULM Horn Ensemble was invited to
perform on a Regional Artist Recital at the conference, along with other student and
faculty performers from the region.
"Attending conferences such as the Southeast Horn Workshop is a wonderful opportunity
for our students to experience learning outside of the classroom," said James Boldin,
DMA, Professor of Music and conductor of the ULM Horn Ensemble. "Hearing recitals
by world-class professional musicians and performing alongside their peers from other
universities adds breadth and scope to their musical studies, and we are grateful
to the ULM School of Visual and Performing Arts for making this trip possible."
The ULM Horn Ensemble is open to all horn players who are current ULM students, and
membership includes both music majors and non-majors.
