Country Representatives must be IHS members and it is preferred that they have passable English language skills. The IHS invites applications for open Country Representative positions. Country Representatives serve the IHS by communicating society activities to IHS members in their country, as well as sharing information about horn activities in their country with the society worldwide. Country Reps also assist in recruiting and welcoming new IHS members and in communication between members in their area.

We are especially interested in hearing from people in regions or countries where we have not had Reps before. If your country's position is vacant, please read the job description and consider filling out an application. (You must be logged in to your IHS member account to access the application)
 
For more information contact Vice-President Bernardo Silva at vice-president@hornsociety.org.

Dorothy L. "Dotty" Frizelle was born in Rochester, N.Y., on May 9, 1942. She grew up on a farm near the town of Marion, N.Y., and developed an interest in both music and mechanical things at an early age (she lost the tip of a finger in a tractor generator when she was 4 years old).
 
Her aptitude for the French Horn quickly took her beyond the resources in her high school, and she began taking lessons at the Eastman School of Music under Morris Secon at the age of 15. She continued her education beyond high school, and earned her Bachelor's Degree in Music and Performer's Certificate in Horn from the Eastman School in 1964.
 
After playing with the New Orleans Symphony for a year, she returned to Rochester to continue her studies. During this time, she became more and more interested in instrument repair, ultimately making it her vocation and the Horn her avocation. She died, a victim of cancer, on January 8, 1988.
