Greetings from sunny South Texas!
It is with great pride that we have the opportunity to host the 54th International Horn Symposium here at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. Hosting this event is a great honor for our University and the School of Music and it reflects the hard work and dedication of our music students, faculty, staff, and alumni. It is a very exciting time at Texas A&M-Kingsville as we have recently moved into our new state-of-the-art music facility. We hope that you will find our facilities accommodating and supportive of the many concerts, recitals, masterclasses, workshops, clinics, and exhibits featured during the IHS54 Conference.
Our sincere hope is that while you are visiting us in South Texas, you will feel the warmth of our people as well as the warmth of our semi-tropical climate. We are located in an area of Texas that is rich in culture and we hope that all of you will enjoy your visit with us! We are very proud of our horn professor, Dr. Jennifer Sholtis, for her leadership and organizational skills in putting together this wonderful conference. We will be offering numerous activities including professional, musical, cultural and social events.
So, as we say in Texas, "Y'all come!" We would love to see you here at IHS54 in August!
Sincerely,

Paul Hageman, Director
School of Music
