    BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n

    -<\/span> Edward Deskur<\/b> is a Polish Swiss, American French Horn player. He was born to Polish World War II refugees in the United States and educated there.<\/span><\/p>\n

    At the age of 19 and during his studies at <\/span>the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York<\/b>, he was offered a position <\/span>as a founding member of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra in 1979.<\/b> . He later returned to finish his college degree after which <\/span>he won a Fulbright scholarship<\/b> to Belgium study with the French horn virtuoso<\/span> Francis Orval<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    After three years of residency in orchestras in Germany - Duisburg and Bonn he began his 32 year employment at the <\/span>Z\u00fcrich Opera<\/b>. It was here that he started working with <\/span>Nikolaus Harnoncourt<\/b>the Austrian conductor who regularly invited him to play on historical instruments in his orchestra <\/span>Concentus Musicus<\/b>These projects were on a part-time freelance basis while still working full-time in Zurich.<\/span><\/p>\n

    He was soon thereafter invited to play with <\/span>the Italian baroque Orchestra \"Il Giardino Armonico\u201d<\/b>on a similar freelance basis. He took the earliest possible retirement from the<\/span> Z\u00fcrich Opera <\/b>in 2017. Despite what he calls a \u201cstrategic retirement\u201d he still plays with both these historical orchestras and many others as well, such as the <\/span>Dresden Festival Orchestra<\/b>which he is now involved in a mammoth project performing and recording <\/span>Wagner\u2019s 4 Ring operas<\/b>over a 4 year period. In 2026, the final installment, the \u201cTwilight of the Gods\u201d will complete the series.<\/span><\/p>\n

    He has given master classes all over the world, including the <\/span>Julliard School of Music and many others.<\/b>He now lives with his family in Warsaw, Poland from where he travels the world to teach and play on both historical and modern horns.<\/span><\/p>\n
