English horn n. A double-reed woodwind musical instrument. Woodwind! Then why is it called a horn? Doesn’t matter, the wood-horn makes beautiful music, especially in the hands of Marc Gordon, who was English horn soloist and oboist with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra for 33 years. Retiring from the SLSO in 2005, Marc returned to his native Chicago and performed as horn soloist with the Chicago Symphony until 2008. Prior to his assignment in St. Louis, he held the English horn position with the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Today Mr. Gordon is President and Artistic Director of the Chamber Music Society of St. Louis. Be certain to come and hear what he can do with the horn that’s not a horn!
