RAMHORNS

RAMHORNS, the Royal Academy of Music horn ensemble is dedicated to the study and performance of music to its highest level. Under the joint direction of horn professors Michael Thompson and Richard Watkins, the students develop musical and life skills of leadership, teamwork and public presentation through ensemble playing. The group is flexible in number, typically ranging from four to sixteen players and all the members, from first year undergraduates to final year postgraduates, share equal responsibility for all aspects of the music without hierarchy. Every one learns to play all the parts; to lead and to follow. With regular rehearsals and performances in London, Cardiff, Birmingham, Southampton and in 2005, the USA, the ramhorns are establishing a reputation for musical integrity and excellence. More...
