TBL#10 Seth Horner- Happiness, Being Yourself, and Formula 1

Hello Everyone and welcome back to The Business Lieder Podcast. I’m breaking my Corona slump and releasing two brand new episodes with the amazing Aubrey Foard of the Baltimore Symphony and Seth Horner of the North Carolina Symphony. This is a great time for a tuba twofer because Aubrey and Seth, along with a few other tuba geniuses are hosting a very exciting bootcamp for tuba and euphonium players next week! The camp is called Back to School Tune-Up With The Pros and the faculty is amazing. These virtuosos come from some of the top orchestras in the country and can be heard in movies like the live-action Lion King, IT 2, and Batman vs. Superman. This bootcamp is a week-long with lessons, masterclasses, evening Q&A sessions and panel discussions all for $260. The website is www.tubabootcamp.com or find them on Instagram @backtoschooltuneup, and I highly encourage you to attend if you are able. All that being said, I am very excited to introduce today’s guest, Seth Horner. I’ve known Seth for a few years now and he is one of the smartest and kindest musicians you’ll ever come across. I think you will really love hearing his story and approach to life and the instrument.
