Jennifer Kummer
Hornist Jennifer Kummer was hired by Carl and Carol Gorodetzky to join the Nashville String Machine in 1997 as the first call/ principal horn. She left behind principal horn positions in the Memphis, Grant Park and Honolulu Symphonies to fulfill her dream of becoming a studio player. She studied with legendary studio musician Vincent DeRosa at the University of Southern California and attributes much of her style of playing to his influence. She frequently plays with the Nashville and St. Louis Symphonies and is thrilled by the variety of musical outlets Nashville has to offer. This has included opportunities to perform with and record alto horn in Mr. Jack Daniels Original Silver Cornet Band as well as in the pit for many of TPAC’s Broadway Series touring musicals. A native of the midwest she graduated from Western Illinois University and will be a guest artist and clinician in Macomb for the International Horn Society Symposium being held there. She has been a featured chamber music performer on various recitals as well as on Live in Studio C in Nashville. She is married to pianist Stephen Kummer who will join her as accompanist in Macomb and who has recorded several jazz solo cd’s under the Green Hills label. They have two beautiful daughters.
