WELCOME
Horn Festival 2025
​
Dear Horn Players and Festival Attendees:
The 2025 Florida French Horn Festival will be held on March 29th, on the campus of the University of Central Florida.
The featured artist this year is Michelle Baker, second horn of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra from 1990-2017, and current faculty member and Chair of the Brass Department at Manhattan School of Music.
The festival will include performances, group warm up, masterclass, and local vendors of interest to horn students, adult amateurs, enthusiasts and professionals. Be sure to bring your horn for the morning warm-up and mass horn choir.
I look forward to seeing everyone on campus in March!
