MOVING AROUND AT IHS51 4 Welcome to Ghent! enjoying conversations, eating and drinking together. Horn players all have something We wish you a (mind)-blowing quintessentially Ghentian. The people week to remember! of this city are generally known as easy-going, independent, persistent, proud and creative. They love good food and drink, embrace things of beauty and, most importantly, they know how to party! Philip Farkas’s teacher Louis Dufrasne, who started his influential career at these stunning Conser- vatory premises around the turn of the twentieth century, might be the perfect synthesis of this Ghentian nature, embracing the city’s motto Nie Pleuie! (Stand Fast, Persist!) as a tool to inspire us up to today. Many of you have already proved an amazing amount of persistence by traveling such a long way to join us here for this joyful week of utter horn madness. The breathtaking diversity of today’s horn world that is illustrated in this program book could not find a better venue than our historically- looking, but future-oriented city and School of Arts. We are convinced that the incre- dible combination of stunning Ghent and IHS51-Moving Horns will move you, keep you in motion, and will inspire you to move on in new horn adventures.
