The University of Iowa Horn Studio is regularly enriched by guest artists, who bring their knowledge, experience, skills, and wide–ranging expertise to share with the horn students in the form of workshops, lectures, recitals, demonstrations, masterclasses, question and answer sessions, panel discussions, and more. Guest artists are one of the ways that the studio maintains connections with the wider world of music, horn, and musicianship.
