RICHARD SERAPHINOFF

A native of Detroit, Michigan, Richard Seraphinoff holds degrees in horn performance from Wayne State University and Indiana University. Among his horn teachers are Lowell Greer, Philip Farkas, Meir Rimon, Francis Orval, Michael Hatfield, and Myron Bloom and Eugene Wade. In September of 1986 he was appointed to the faculty of the Indiana University School of Music, where he teaches modern valve horn, natural horn, a doctoral course in brass literature, and chamber music.

Mr. Seraphinoff is also a well-known maker of historical reproductions of Baroque and Classical Natural Horns. With trumpet maker Robert Barclay he has developed a week-long course in historical brass instrument making that has been offered in the US and Europe 17 times since 1994. Since 1993 he has given summer workshops in Natural Horn history and performance at Indiana University, which are attended by horn players from around the world.
