Trans-Atlantic Horn Duo

Siegfried's Horn and the Howland Cultural Center are pleased to present the Trans-Atlantic Horn Duo, two of the most successful young horn players of today, Austin Larson of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Katerina Javurkova of the Czech Philharmonic in an extraordinary evening of contemporary and classical horn music by Johannes Brahms, Kerry Turner, Anthony Plog, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Olivier Messiaen and Francesco Antonio Rossetti.

Mr. Larson is one of only two people to win First Prizes in both divisions of the International Horn Competition of America and became the first American to ever win a prize in either the International Brass Instruments Competition in Gdansk, Poland or the Jeju International Brass Competition in Korea, finishing with the Second Prize in both, the latter being the top prize awarded.

Ms. Javurkova is the most recent top prize winner in both the Prague Spring and ARD International Music Competitions, two of the most prestigious competitions in the world. Javurkova has also won First Prizes in several other competitions throughout Europe, including the 'Federico II di Savoia' competition in Italy, the Moravian Autumn Festival International Horn Competition and the International Competition in Brno.
