Get the Book!

This volume commemorating the 50th anniversary of the International Horn Society is presented in a format befitting such a celebration. The book combines photos and other visual aspects found in coffee table books with narrative historical accounts of the formation of the society and its activities over its first half-century. The book has a faux leather cover and 256 full color pages, covering all workshops and symposia, publications, commissioning programs and projects, scholarships and other programs, and a look at the people that make up the IHS community. A special section for our business supporters is also included.
This wonderful celebration of the IHS has a price of $75 and is available for shipment to U.S. addresses in the IHS Online Music Sales. International shipping charges will be added based on location/address, and you'll receive an invoice directly from the IHS for payment when ordering through this form.

Barbara Chinworth Project
In memory of Barbara Chinworth, the International Horn Society has been gifted a significant donation to fund a program to provide resources to amateur horn players/enthusiasts. Barbara was a do-er, putting words into action in the form of gathering hornists of all walks of life to play together, enjoy fellowship, and support each other in their mutual love of horn.
We are still working out the details and want to hear from you. How would support from this program be most meaningful to you? We are asking you to participate in a survey to help us get started in meeting a need in our organization: to engage more with our non-professional and non-student members.
Ideas include:
- Helping people attend symposiums (travel stipend, subsidizing registration and/or lodging costs, etc.)
- Providing annual IHS membership
- Supporting the creation of new compositions geared towards amateur players
- Scheduling a masterclass at symposia with participation from and focus on amateur players
