A multifaceted musician, French horn virtuoso, and a gigantic Pittsburgh sports fan are just a few ways to describe Joe Hughes, a freelance musician based out of Pittsburgh, PA. After graduating high school, Joe hung up his lacrosse gear to obtain a B.M. from the Peabody Conservatory and a M.M. from Carnegie Mellon University in French horn performance. As an orchestral musician, Joe has performed as principal horn of the Peabody Symphony Orchestra, along with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and other professional ensembles in the Baltimore/DC and Virginia areas. He was selected to represent the Peabody Conservatory in Philadelphia's Kimmel Center as part of the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, New York City's 92nd Street Y, and at the Library of Congress in collaboration with Leon Fleischer performing two chamber operas by the Hungarian composer György Ligeti. In the summers of 2012 and 2013, Joe played first horn in the Castleton Festival Orchestra conducted by music director Lorin Maazel. Since moving to Pittsburgh, aside from playing with the Butler and Westmoreland Symphonies, Joe comfortably performs in many other musical styles while playing with such crossover groups as the C Street Brass, River City Brass Band, and the Brass Roots Ensemble. When Joe is not dressed in his best and performing around the city, he enjoys video editing, watching sports, dark roast coffee, high end scotch, and exploring everything the great city of Pittsburgh has to offer. -
