Voices of Nature

Lauren Hunt presents a recital of works for horn exploring how composers paint natural scenes with sound. Join us in traveling through “Fields of Heather,” over “Hills,” “Mountains” and “Valleys,” in this celebration of this “Pale Blue Dot” we call home. Featuring works by Eugène Bozza, Gina Gillie, Jan Koetsier, Oliver Messiaen, David Uber, and Barbara York.

Hunt’s professional career started by winning first prize in the International Horn Competition of America in 2013. More recently, Dr. Hunt was the only classical musician selected as a fellow by the Utah Division of Arts and Museums. She performs regularly in the horn section of ensembles including Ballet West, Utah Symphony, Utah Festival Opera, and Artosphere Festival Orchestra. Dr. Hunt is the Linda VanSickle Smith French Horn Chair and director of Brass Studies at Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan.
