Hello again from Colorado State University in beautiful Fort Collins, Colorado! IHS 56 is another month closer (July 29-August 2, 2024), and preparations are well underway at this point. We have so many things that are in process and being developed by a wonderful team in order to make IHS 56 a tremendous experience for all. But the only way you will know is to make sure you have plans to be here!
This month, I want to bring your attention to a couple of things. First, the website for IHS 56 and IHCA—don’t forget that we’re doing a collaboration with the International Horn Competition of America—has been launched. You can find it at www.hornsonthehorizon.com as well as links for it on the IHS website and on social media. (Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram.) There, you will find tabs with information on Featured Artists, Contributing Artists, Exhibitors, Planning Your Trip, and much more. Please note that while there is a good deal of information already up, there will be much more coming in the next several weeks and months!
Of particular note this month is that under the tab for Contributing Artists is a link to the application for any who would like to submit a proposal to perform, present on a topic, or both. The application will remain open through December 15, 2023, so make sure you get your proposal in soon.
Last, we will be rolling out several announcements starting in mid-October, including information about the Featured Artists lineup. Stay tuned to Horn and More, the IHS website, and IHS social media because you won’t want to miss anything!
