American Horn Quartet to Perform at CU-Mansfield
2024-02-15 19:30, 2024-02-15 13:00 | Mansfield University, Manfield, PA, United States
The American Horn Quartet will give a concert and masterclass at Commonwealth University-Mansfield on Thursday, Feb. 15.

The masterclass will be at 1 p.m. and the concert at 7:30 p.m. in Butler Music Center’s Steadman Theatre. Both are free and open to the public. The masterclass is designed for collegiate horn ensembles and high school horn soloists. The concert will include two world premiere performances.

Entering its fourth decade, the American Horn Quartet continues to be unique in the field of brass chamber music. Their exuberant performances have brought audiences all over the world to their feet. In 1982, four American horn players who were working and residing in Europe met for the first time to explore the potential of the horn quartet, a chamber music formation with a surprisingly long tradition. They quickly began to supplement the existing repertoire with their own compositions and arrangements.

The individual members of the AHQ – Kerry Turner, Kristina Mascher-Turner, Geoffrey Winter, and Denise Tryon – are all successful soloists in their own right, having won top international competitions in Geneva, Prague, New York, Passau, and Munich. To these accolades, they added top honors with the quartet at chamber music competitions in Barcs, Hungary (Philip Jones Competition), Brussels, and Tokyo.

Besides being featured at horn and brass festivals around the globe, the American Horn Quartet has established itself at regular chamber music concert series on the international circuit. They have also appeared as soloists with numerous symphony orchestras, among them the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Sinfonia Varsovia, Philharmonica Hungarica, the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi, the Brabants Orchestra of Eindhoven, the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, and the Bordeaux Aquitaine Symphony Orchestra in France.

Other highlights include performances at the Barbican in London, the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, an appearance with orchestra at the Tonhalle in Zurich, and recording collaborations with the horn sections of the New York Philharmonic and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.

Mt. Tom Challenge
2024-02-11 09:00 - 12:00 | Darling Run Access Area, State Route 362, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
The Course: Climb (or scramble some might say) up the 1100′ vertical feet of trail from the Ansonia valley to the summit vista of Mt. Tom with views into the PA Grand Canyon and to the west nearly to Galeton. After catching your breath and those awesome views, continue a short distance along the ridge before descending most of the way back on a grassy (or more snowy this time of year) forest road. Reach the tent at the bottom before 11am and YOU GET TO DO IT AGAIN!!! How many laps can you do in two hours?
Date: Sunday, February 11, 2024 – Start Time: 9am. The challenge is to complete at least one lap within two hours in whatever conditions are present. Not enough of a challenge? Then do as many as you can in that time! Register by 8:30am day of event.
Cost: FREE – no frills, no prizes, just a great morning out on the trails. Some type of traction device may be required based on trail conditions (screw-shoes, yak-traks, microspikes, etc, or even snowshoes!) Remember conditions will vary with elevation and some areas hold snow much longer than most. Ice can be the toughest condition and is common this time of year. The course WILL vary greatly based on weather, snow and ice conditions. It’s winter. It’s part of what makes this a challenge!!!
