French Horn
A composer and horn player, Nathan has been playing the horn a long, long, long time. He has worked with nationally-recognized artists, and an occasional international VIP. Receiving degrees in music from Oberlin and Yale, and later an MFA in creative writing from a tiny school in Vermont, Nathan attended the Tanglewood Music Festival, the European Mozart Academy in Poland, and played under the baton of Michael Tilson-Thomas with the New World Symphony. He just finished a ten year tenure as principal horn with the South Dakota Symphony and the Dakota Wind Quintet.
Nathan has written numerous works for orchestra including a symphony, a clarinet concerto, a song cycle, and a children’s program for narrator and orchestra, as well as chamber music for woodwind quintet, and since joining QUADRE in 2003, horn quartet. His wife is Karen and his children are Aidan and Zachary, boys whose ages are changing all the time.
