Dear Horn Colleagues:
The growth of the performance program here at Rutgers has led to a need to expand the horn program beyond my load. I am so pleased to be able to announce that Denise Tryon of the Philadelphia Orchestra has accepted our offer to join the brass faculty. We will be auditioning for openings in the horn studio in February. Additionally, the Dean has directed that there be additional and enhanced scholarships for graduate horn. I anticipate three graduate slots for Fall 2011. I will continue to field general inquiries about the horn program and scholarship opportunities. I encourage anyone specifically interested in pursuing studies with Denise at Rutgers to contact her directly: [email protected] Denise Tryon Bio Denise Tryon joined The Philadelphia Orchestra in October 2009 as fourth horn. Previously the fourth horn of the Detroit Symphony, she has also held positions with the Baltimore, Columbus, and New World symphonies and has participated in the Colorado Music Festival and the Pacific Music Festival. Ms. Tryon graduated high school from the famed Interlochen Arts Academy, and received her Bachelor of Music degree, with distinction in performance, from the New England Conservatory of Music (NEC) in Boston. While at NEC, she formed the Taiyo Wind Quintet, which won grand prize in the Shoreline Alliance Chamber Competition, first prize in the Coleman Chamber Competition, and second prize in the Carmel Chamber Music Awards. Taiyo was only the second chamber group to be admitted into the prestigious Artist Diploma program at the New England Conservatory, as well as being awarded the Presidential Scholarship. While a member of Taiyo, Ms. Tryon coached with John Harbison, Luciano Berio, György Ligeti, and Elliott Carter. An active and accomplished educator, Ms. Tryon started Audition Mode, a yearly horn seminar with her former colleague, Karl Pituch. She has taught at Towson University, Wayne State University, and she currently is on the faculty at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. -- ÐÏࡱá _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
