    About MeContact Me
    Leander Star, a graduate student of horn performance and literature at Northwestern University and an associate member of the Chicago Civic Orchestra, has been performing and teaching professionally for more than 10 years, since the age of seventeen. Immediately upon finishing high school, he won positions with the Columbia Symphony of Portland, Oregon and the Vancouver Washington Symphony Orchestra. In 2007, Leander received his bachelor's degree in horn performance at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music where he studied with San Francisco Symphony players Jonathan Ring and Robert Ward.

    Leander has held positions as principal horn with the Vancouver Washington Symphony, the Newport Symphony Orchestra (where he was also an educator for the Educational Outreach Program), the Oregon Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra, and the Rose City Chamber Orchestra. He has appeared with the Eugene Symphony, the Monterey County Symphony Orchestra, the Astoria Music Festival Orchestra, the Portland Opera in the Parks Orchestra, and other ensembles throughout the west coast. Additionally, he has recorded and collaborated with the bay-area band "The Monolith" and with New York-based singer-songwriter Jason Anderson.

    As a soloist, Leander has given several recitals; the most recent, entitled "Horn on Tap", was produced by Classical Revolution PDX, an organization devoted to bringing classical music into unusual venues such as bars, clubs, and cafes.

    Leander is an avid educator and has maintained private music studios and given seminars on brass playing in Chicago, Illinois and throughout the west coast. He is currently on faculty with Evanston Winds and Brass in Evanston, Illinois.
