Finally, two years after the pandemic began, the Seventh Brazilian Horn Conference will take place in person at the headquarters of the MB Cases industry in Bragança Paulista/São Paulo, Brazil with Marcus Bonna as host. The Conference has been supported and organized by the Brazilian Horn Association (ATB) together with MB Cases and Gebr. Alexander as sponsors.
There are already 200 horn players registered as participants for this event. Artists such as Sarah Willis (who will launch her new CD, Mozart/Mambo 2 in South America), Matias Piñeira, the Argentinian quartet Bayres Horns, the Trompiguares group, the Brazilian Feminine Octet, and the Rio de Janeiro University Horn ensemble will enhance the event.
There will be presentations and masterclasses by professors who work in Brazil, including Radegundis Tavares (President of the International Horn Society), Luiz García, Adalto Soares, Phillip Doyle, Nikolay Genov, and Sergio Gomes, as well as concerts by horn contributors such as Celso Benedito, Victor Prado, the Horn Quartet from Bahia, Isaque Elias (winner of the MB 2021 competition), among others.
As exhibitors, we will have Gebr. Alexander, MB Cases, Paxman, HS Musical, Adalto Brass, and Engelman mouthpieces.
