James Wilson has been playing the French Horn for 47 years, and he has been a student of historical instruments and historically-informed practice since college. In this special edition of Concert & Conversations, James will speak to his experience playing four hundred years worth of horns with musical examples from past Ars Lyrica concerts as well as live demonstrations. Some questions we have:

-What makes historical horns so hard to play?
-What are the differences between modern, Classical, and Baroque horn?
-How has learning about historical horns affected James’s approach to modern horn?

What are your burning questions about the horn? This is your chance to get them answered!

This episode of Concert & Conversations is free and open to the public.
