Brian Wilson, Music Theory Program Director and Jewish Studies Program Director, was a featured composer at the 53rd International Horn Society symposium. French Horn player Daniel Nebel performed Wilson's 'The Water Garden' for solo horn at a live-stream session. Musicians from 30 countries attended this year's symposium which took place virtually from August 9-13 and included presentations from 16 countries. The Water Garden is an impressionistic depiction of Wilson's transformed swimming pool, now a pond replete with aquatic and avian life. The Water Garden, composed during COVID lockdown, is published by Sheetmusicplus.
