The prestigious Eastman Horn Choir was founded in 1968 by Verne Reynolds, professor emeritus of horn at the Eastman School of Music, who served as its director until his retirement in 1995. From its inception, the choir's mission has been to provide an expanded ensemble experience for the horn students; to acquaint them with the breadth of quality repertoire within our musical culture; and to encourage contemporary composers to create original works for multiple horns. Directed by Peter Kurau.
