American Horn Quartet U.S. Tour in February
Posted By kerryturner on January 29, 2011
The American Horn Quartet will be on tour in the U.S. this coming February. It seems that we have made this a sort of tradition. That is, the AHQ has managed to tour the States just about every year since around 1990. Very often we return to universities and music schools where we have performed before. But usually we include a new location, Tennessee Tech and UW- Oshkosh being new this time. So from Valentine’s Day till the 22nd of February, the quartet will perform six concerts and present five masterclasses in four states. And here is our itinerary:
Feb. 14 Fly to from Europe to Atlanta.
Feb. 15 Masterclass and full recital at Kennesaw State University, Georgia.
Feb. 16 Full recital at the Northwest Universalist Unitarian Church in Atlanta.
Feb. 17 Fly to Milwaukee and drive to Steven’s Point, Wisconsin.
Feb. 18 Short Masterclass and 1-hour recital at UW- Steven’s Point.
Feb. 19 Horn Day at UW- Oshkosh featuring the AHQ- coaching and full recital.
Feb. 20 Band Festival at Valparaiso Univ., Indiana. Work with horn choir and 1-hour recital.
Feb. 21 Fly to Nashville and drive to Cookeville, Tennessee.
