About “Horns for Rhinos”

Horns for Rhinos consists of top professional brass musicians from the Los Angeles and San Diego area, sharing their music for the sake of wildlife conservation. Hollywood film composers and orchestrators have generously arranged music specifically for the group with an emphasis on music from and inspired by Africa, film music, and original works.

Members of the ensemble performing tonight are true “Hollywood” musicians, currently recording the orchestral music for upcoming films such as the Lion King re-animation, and Spiderman: Far from Home. Other recent blockbusters include Incredibles 2, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Coco, Cars 3, Moana, Star Wars: Rogue One, Finding Dory, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Big Hero 6, Frozen, Star Trek Beyond, and Jurassic World. Horns for Rhinos musicians can be heard weekly on television shows Twilight Zone (2019), Star Trek Discovery, The Orville, Family Guy, American Dad, the Simpsons, and seen on The Voice, American Idol and The Late Late Show with James Corden.

Comfortable in all genres, Horns for Rhinos members have recorded on albums for Dave Matthews Band, Florence and the Machine, Kendrick Lamar, Michael Bublé, Kamasi Washington, and many others. Members of the ensemble hold Principal positions with LA Chamber Orchestra, LA Opera, and Pacific Symphony, and perform with the LA Philharmonic, San Diego Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, Las Vegas Philharmonic. They’ve toured the world with broadway shows, professional brass quintets, rock shows, and world class orchestras.

Members hold teaching positions at UCLA, Biola University, UC Irvine, San Diego State University, Azusa Pacific University, Cal State Long Beach, Cal State Fullerton, University of Redlands and with Youth Orchestra LA (YOLA)/Harmony Project.

Horns for Rhinos strives to engage audiences through music to raise awareness for wildlife conservation, partnering with Nkombe Rhino. With this connection, they educate those that aren’t familiar with the cause and effect of poaching and human/wildlife conflict on these incredible endangered animals, and create new support for their protection and for our ecosystem as a whole.
