The Brazilian Horn Society (ATB), founded in 2013, aims to promote research, reflection, and the dissemination of knowledge related to horn performance, contributing to the artistic, technical, and pedagogical development of its members and the Brazilian horn community.
Since its creation, the association has organized annual meetings, of both a scientific and an artistic nature, dedicated to the teaching, research, and performance of the horn in Brazil. These meetings foster exchange between Brazilian and international horn players, significantly strengthening and contributing to the development of the horn and horn playing in Brazil.
In 2026, the city of São Paulo will host the 11th Meeting of the Brazilian Horn Society, which will take place from September 3-6, under the general coordination of Nikolay Genov. The event will be held at the School of Music of the Theatro Municipal de São Paulo, located at Praça das Artes.
The event is supported by MB Cases and, so far, the confirmed participants include professors Mark Almond, Felipe Freitas, Luiz Garcia, Daniel Filho, Tayanne Sepulveda, and Lucca Zambonini, as well as invited groups such as Trompas UFRJ, Octeto Feminino, and Flamboyant Horns, among others.
Please plan to attend if you are able.
