BIOGRAPHY |
|
Lee Bracegirdle began his early musical training in Philadelphia, where he studied keyboard and various wind instruments, choosing the French Horn at age 14. He began his tertiary musical studies at the Philadelphia Musical Academy, then with James Chambers at the Juilliard School in New York, earning Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. During his studies he embarked on a free-lance career which included performances as principal horn with the New York City Symphony Orchestra, the Brooklyn Philharmonia, and recordings with many prominent jazz musicians.
From 1976-1977 he was Co-Principal Horn with the Orquesta Filarmónica de la Unam (México) and Principal Horn with the Chamber Orchestra of México City. In 1977 he moved to Germany, where he performed with the International Youth Festival Orchestra in Bayreuth. In the same year he was appointed Solo-Horn with the Hof Symphony Orchestra in Bavaria, where he subsequently co-founded Germany’s premier brass quintet, Rekkenze Brass.
In 1980 he joined the Sydney Symphony Orchestra as Associate Principal Horn. He has made numerous recordings for the ABC as a soloist, chamber musician and principal horn. He has edited horn studies for the I.M.C. in New York, and published his own original horn studies and chamber music through 3-C Musikverlag in Germany. He has given Horn master classes at the Juilliard School, the Curtis Institute, the Salzburg Mozarteum, and the University of Illinois.
From 1990-1992 he studied conducting with Michael Gielen at the Salzburg Mozarteum, and took part in master classes with Sergiu Celibidache in Mainz. He made his conducting debut in 1990 with the Orchestra of the Mozarteum. In 1991 he was awarded the position of Solo-Repetitor and Assistant Conductor at the opera house of the city of Plauen, Germany. He returned to the S.S.O. in 1992.
Since 1996 he has been Musical Director of the Australian Chamber Ballet, where he is also Composer-in-Residence. In 2003 he was chosen as Artist-in-Residence composer at Bundanon, the South Coast property of the renowned Australian painter, Arthur Boyd.
Mr. Bracegirdle’s Variations for Orchestra (2002), Ammerseelieder (2005), and Concerto for Euphonium and Orchestra (2008) were premiered by the Sydney Symphony at the Sydney Opera House. In June 2007 the American Wind Symphony premiered his Threnos for Horn and Wind Orchestra.
