Elizabeth Starr Masoudnia, English Horn
English hornist of the Philadelphia Orchestra since 1995, Elizabeth Starr Masoudnia is also an active English horn soloist and chamber musician. A strong advocate of new music for her instrument, she has played the world premiere of the Nicholas Maw English horn concerto with the Philadelphia Orchestra as well as the world premiere of a chamber work for English horn by Joseph Hallman.
A native of Philadelphia, PA, Ms. Masoudnia graduated from the Curtis Institute of Music, where she studied with John de Lancie, former principal oboe of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Her teacher prior to that time was Louis Rosenblatt, former solo English horn of the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Ms. Masoudnia was a participant in the Marlboro Music Festival for two summers and played concertos with the Concerto Soloists of Philadelphia and the New York Symphonic Ensemble on four tours of Japan and Southeast Asia. She also played solo English horn in the Minnesota Orchestra for seven years.
Ms. Masoudnia is a featured artist on a CD of Beethoven and Triebensee oboe trios, released on the ASV Quicksilver label.
