Welcome to IHS 54
I am thrilled to be the host for the upcoming IN-PERSON symposium!
IHS54 takes place at the Texas A&M University Kingsville Music Education Complex, a beautiful and spacious facility completed in January 2020. The University is located in the historic town of Kingsville, Texas, built on the donated lands of the world-famous King Ranch.
Ranching traditions continue to be a way of life here and one needs to only venture a short distance to encounter abundant wildlife. This area inspires the symposium theme Untamed Horn. Let it also inspire your presentations, performances, and compositions for the symposium.
I invite all of you to unleash your inner cowboy and join us August 1-6, 2022 for the 54th International Horn Symposium!
