Recovering from another exhilarating Pygmalion tour - huge thanks to these three (Mark Gebhart, Emile Carlioz and Antoine Morisot) for a fabulous Brahms fest! (And thanks to Philippe Genestier for his great photos!).

These just came up at auction at DVC Auctions in Belgium, and, no! I didn't bid! But I do think they are charming. They're described as a pair of early 19th century. Empire period candelabra in partly gilded bronze, each with a Cupid with horn.

I recently had the chance to take a trip to Venice. It was the most superb day of walking around all the back streets and such gorgeous weather. I was on the hunt for Triton, the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, who is often depicted blowing his conch shell horn. And I wasn't disappointed!

I think there are some mornings that I could do with this particular #HiddenHorn! Spotted by William Berndt, I'm loving @@messengercoffee's logo!

#HiddenHornPlayer spotted in Pordonone (in the "BEFED Brew Pub Mestre") where I've spent the last week as a member of the jury for the 35th Concorso Internazionale "Città di Porcia" Horn Competition.

"Sounding Brass. Brasswind Instruments And How They Work" by Murray Campbell, Arnold Myers and Joël Gilbert. Available from Springer Books.

Prof. Arnold Myers has been very busy of late - here's ANOTHER recent publication (in addition to the @RCSofficial instrument catalogue). STRONG recommendation as there's lots of fascinating details about how brass instruments actually work in this new book

This one is just out (and just before @ensemblepygmalion.bsky.social commence our next tour of Brahms!).  Photos by Mathilde Assier and Fred Mortagne from the 2024 tour when this CD was recorded.

More CD releases to celebrate!
November 5, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Another recent release I failed to mention. This was a VERY fun project (working with Václav Luks is always a huge pleasure - as a former horn player he really understands and appreciates what we have to contribute!).

Here's a snippet of Moscheles's Introduction et rondeau écossais, Op.63 which I chose to play on this Webb/Halstead natural horn - this instrument is part of the Webb Collection which is held at the @rcsofficial.bsky.social in Glasgow and ...

Another horn from the magnificent @rcsofficial.bsky.social collection. Again, a Scottish inspired choice of music (a bit from the slow movement of Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 3 "Scottish" - and there is a reason to play it on an early valve horn!).

I completely failed to post anything when this recording came out earlier in the year but given that it's just been awarded "Recording of the Year" at the Gramophone Awards I thought worth celebrating the work of marvellous team of musicians involved in this @ensemblepygmalion.bsky.social project.

Featuring an all-star cast of international ARCO soloists and recorded at Monash University on a 2023 national tour, this recording by an all-female-led orchestra will continue to raise women composers and Australian performers to international heights. Help ARCO raise the $10,000 needed to launch!

ARCO's 5th album, to be released in early 2026, features Beethoven's beautiful Septet and the incredible Nonet of Louise Farrenc.

A shout out about a funding campaign close to my heart that is happening imminently. 

The Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra (aka ARCO) is joining in the first AusArt Day on 23 October (i.e. TOMORROW!!!!) with a campaign to support an exciting new album.

I don't know much about this #HiddenHorn - spotted alongside some other brass instruments in the bottom right hand corner of this painting in the Dom Museum, Salzburg. Any one able to help?
October 20, 2025 at 4:01 PM
Some of the gems from the @rcsofficial.bsky.social collection which I recently got to play! L to R we've got  a French trompe de chasse, an English hunting horn, a Webb/Halstead 'French' model natural horn, a 2 valve Ward & Sons horn, a Wolf & Figg sauterelle horn and a 2 valve Adolphe Sax horn.
October 19, 2025 at 4:01 PM
More about this in the coming days but there's a new catalogue out! Prof Arnold Myers has produced the most opulent of catalogues documenting the instruments in the @rcsofficial.bsky.social - I got to play some of the instruments as part of the recent launch.
October 17, 2025 at 4:01 PM
Horn player added for scale! This shows just how wide the loops of the Carlin and Haltenhof horns are. Huge thanks to both Mark de Merlier for letting me have a go as well as everyone behind the smashing @cydonia_barocca festival that brought us all together.
October 15, 2025 at 4:01 PM
Another smashing instrument belonging to  Mark de Merlier. This is an original Haltenhof horn from 1773 - my choice of music is, admittedly, a little anachronistic but, given the shape of the instrument hand technique feels very unlikely on such a horn!
October 14, 2025 at 4:04 PM
What an utter pleasure! I’ve been a big fan of Los Pitutos for ages (fellow horn player and just epic person Matías Piñeira is in it, hence me discovering it)… so when the penny dropped and I realised that the lovely tenor, Álvaro Zambrano, whom I was accompanying is ALSO in the band 🤩🤩🤩

More video snippets of horns I've recently had the pleasure of trying out - this is an original 18th century horn by Carlin of Paris which belongs to a very dear colleague and collector, the splendid horn player Mark de Merlier. I was very honoured to have a bit of a play on it!
October 12, 2025 at 4:02 PM
What a lovely group! Here's the smashing team of brass and timpani from the IBO Masterworks project last week. LR: Darren Moore, Pamela Stainer, Rosie Toll, Anneke Scott and Hannah Miller.
