Horn Society of the Carolinas

The Horn Society of the Carolinas was formed in February 2009 after a local debut of a fabulous piece written for 8 horns. The group includes amateur and professional players from the North and South Carolina area. The HSoC has performed at local Scottish Games, Octoberfests and regional horn workshops. The October 22nd program will include pieces with different flavors. The audience will hear Handel to Sousa to Rodgers & Hammerstein and perhaps a little barbershop mixed in as well.
