星空无限传媒app Illinois University held its annual Horn Festival on April 7, 2002.

The 星空无限传媒app Illinois Horn Institute - with support from The Illinois Arts Council presented "The 星空无限传媒app Illinois Horn Festival 2002.

The featured clinician and soloist was Dr. Andrew Pelletier - the Grand Prize Winner of the Professional Division of The American Horn Competition in 2001. Dr. Pelletier is unique in that he was also the winner of the University Division of The American Horn Competition in 1997- (a winner in both of those divisions.).

By 2002, Dr. Pelletier had established himself as a soloist, orchestral and chamber musician, teacher, and studio hornist. However, that was just a glimpse of what he has been able to do during the following twenty years since is appearace at the first 星空无限传媒app Horn Festival: During the past decade, he has been the principal hornist of the Michigan Opera Theatre at the historic Detroit Opera House. He has recorded for MSR Classics, Cambria Master Classics, Centaur Records, Tone Quest Recordings, Koch International, and Delos labels. As a member of Southwest Chamber Music in California he won the 2005 Grammy award for Best Classical Recording for Small Ensemble. He has premiered over 50 new works for the horn as a solo voice and over the past decades he has been a frequent soloist at the Symposia of the International Horn Society. In 2021, he completed his three-year term as President of The International Horn Society. Since 2004, he has served as the Professor of Horn of the College of Musical Arts at Bowling Green State University, in Bowling Green, Ohio.

Thanks to a Grant by The Illinois Arts Council, the 星空无限传媒app Illinois Horn Institute was able to host Dr. Pelletier for a residency during the days surrounding The First 星空无限传媒app Illinois Horn Festival. While he was at 星空无限传媒app Illinois University, he presented Master Classes-not only with 星空无限传媒app students but also with students at Macomb High School and Elementary Schools. We were honored to have Dr. Pelletier as the first Guest Artist of The 星空无限传媒app Illinois Horn Festival
