Thomas Bacon (French Horn) |
|
 |
This mouthpiece has a wide inner rim diameter with a large 'V' shaped
cup. Tom requires an extremely versatile mouthpiece because he plays
in so many different settings: large symphony orchestras, small chamber
ensembles, brass groups, and in solo recitals. With this mouthpiece
he can play as high or strong as is necessary, and yet can create
as rich and full a sound as he wants-in any register. The sound is
well focused for clarity and projection, and the playability is responsive
and comfortable. |
| Thomas Bacon's work in the United States, Europe, South America
and Asia has placed him in the highest echelon of hornists worldwide.
He has held principal horn positions with the Syracuse Symphony, Detroit
Symphony, Houston Symphony and the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestras.
He has also performed as “guest” principal with the Berlin
Philharmonic, Berlin Opera, Pittsburgh Symphony, Milwaukee Symphony,
Chicago Symphony, Phoenix Symphony, Fort Worth Symphony, and many
others. As soloist, he has performed concertos with over a hundred
orchestras across the United States, and has been guest artist at
major music festivals throughout the world. In addition to his busy
schedule of recitals and chamber and orchestral engagements, Thomas
can be heard on dozens of solo recordings. His chamber activities
include the Summit Brass, America's premier large brass ensemble,
and the St. Louis Brass Quintet. He has made dozens of recordings,
and over fifty new pieces have been written for him by contemporary
composers. |
