Frøydis Ree Wekre leads a horn masterclass with talented musicians from the Royal College of Music’s Brass Faculty.
Through a distinguished career as one of the world’s top horn players, a professor, and a celebrated cultural personality, Frøydis has made a tremendous contribution to the art of horn playing and contemporary music repertoire. Born in Oslo into a family of musicians, she pursued her horn studies in several countries including Sweden, Russia, and the US, under the tutelage of esteemed instructors such as Wilhelm Lanzky-Otto and Vitali Bujanovsky.
As an educator she places great value on her role as a teacher, and many of her students have gone on to play in prominent orchestras across the globe. She was recognised for her teaching contributions with the Lindeman Prize in 1986, and co-founded the NORDHORNPED teaching group with her Nordic colleagues, which includes activities such as studying their own teaching through video analysis.
