This week, we are thrilled to sit down with one of today’s leading natural horn artists, Sadie Glass!
Assistant Professor of Horn and Brass-Percussion Program Director at the Conservatory of Music at the University of the Pacific, Sadie is also one of the four inaugural university faculty ambassadors for The Alphorn Project. Through her innovative work with historical instruments and modern pedagogy, she has become an influential voice in the growing alphorn community.
Sadie performs with many of North America’s leading period-instrument ensembles, including Portland Baroque Orchestra, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, and American Bach Soloists. In California, she is a member of the Monterey Symphony and performs regularly throughout the Bay Area with ensembles including the San Francisco Symphony and Santa Rosa Symphony.
In addition to her university teaching and performing career, Sadie serves on the faculty of Cormont Horn Camp and has appeared as a guest artist, clinician, and performer at alphorn and horn festivals throughout the United States, including many regional and national International Horn Society Symposiums, the Northwest Alphorn Festival, Santa Fe Alphorn Festival, and the Northern California Alphorn Festival.
You can find her sharing her expertise at several upcoming festivals!
