French horn player Spencer Park joins Ariana to talk about the importance and rewards of physical fitness, mindfulness, and setting goals. You'll also get to hear Spencer's heartfelt tone when he reveals a performance of one of most beautiful horn solos in the classical repertoire, from Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony. Spencer invited a few friends from all different corners of the country to collaborate- he knitted it together for the final product. The other musicians in the recording are Natalie Gaynor, violin; Karen Iglitzin, viola; Ariana Nelson, cello; Michael Marks, bass; Mayu Isom, oboe; Sean Krissman, clarinet.
Spencer is based in Houston, TX where he is a member of the Houston Grand Opera and Houston Ballet orchestras. He studied at BYU and Rice University. Spencer has also created a special practice app for brass players, called Quality Tones. If you're a brass player, or even if you're not, check it out! Find him on Instagram @spencer.w.park
