Music for Horns - a recital with Tom Hundemer, students and friends May 24, 2010 at Kings Highway Christian Church

The Horn Ensemble



Tonight I had a great opportunity to listen to 8 horn players instead of being "in the band" myself. Had thought about playing as well, but it would have been difficult to play and take photographs. So I opted to record the concert in photo images. New songs, old songs, solos for horn and piano, quartets and octets, inspirational and patriotic, hunting music for horns. Quite a variety which was enjoyed by all on the stage and in the audience. Guest pianist for whom we are all very greatful was Centenary's Gay Grosz.

Students participating were Colin McRea, Brian Smith and Margo Ealy. Friends who played in the group were professionals and non-professionals who reside in Shreveport/Bossier, Alexandria and Monroe - Albert Perrine, James Boldin, Judy Causey and her son Chad Causey. Craig Pratt (also a horn player) who generously provided the venue for the concert conducted the larger ensemble. Those I recognized in the audience were locals Michael Scarlato, Suzy Pratt and Terry Hopkins and his wife Jan from Marshall.
