Welcome to the official website of the 41st International Horn Symposium. This exciting event will be presented June 2-7th, 2009 at the School of Music, Western Illinois University, Macomb, Illinois, USA. From the world class featured artists and lecturers, to the wonderful exhibitors that will be present, to the charm of the Midwest heartland, we're sure you'll be entertained and inspired by the week!
Nestled where Illinois' rolling hills meet the Mississippi River, you'll be minutes away from many historic sites including the Lincoln Presidential Library in Springfield, Illinois, Hannibal, Missouri— "birthplace" of Mark Twain; and Galesburg, site of Lincoln-Douglas debates and the birthplace of poet, Carl Sandburg.
