We have a new patron!! We are beyond thrilled to announce that for 2027, the incredible Sarah Willis will be patron for NYFHE!!! 🤩🙏📯

Member of the Berlin Philharmonic since 2001, Sarah brings world-class credentials and a rare connection to the very top of the profession to each of our members ✨

Her patronage is a tremendous endorsement of NYFHE's work developing the next generation of horn players and we are SO excited to see what the future will hold for us... 🎶

So NYFHE attendees past, present (and hopefully future..!) and all young horn players - tell your friends and get your spaces booked for what looks set to be our most spectacular course yet! 👏

NYFHE is so much more than just horn practice...it's really something quite magical! 📯

Our students build a fantastic community during their stay with us and this really passes through into their music making. They learn to take risks with their playing in an environment where it is not only fully encouraged but completely safe 🎶❤

Completely accepted into a group of like-minded, passionate musicians...watch here for the rest of our interview with Tim and Rachel and see what else NYFHE offers our wonderful group of attendees!✨

So, why NYFHE? What makes our course so special and makes us stand out from the crowd? 📯

It goes without saying that our six day residential is an outstanding opportunity for learning, practicing, performing and unleashing musical potential. But alongside the music there is also fun, so much joy, laughter, friendships and much, much more...! 🎶😍🙌

Don't miss today's video from our wonderful coach, Tim Jackson - Principal Horn at the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, and our equally wonderful course director, Rachel Branston. Hear about how NYFHE was created several years ago and find out why this could be the course for you!✨
