David Krehbiel has had an extraordinary career and life as one of the great horn players of his time. Joining the Chicago Symphony as associate first horn and sitting next to his teacher Phillip Farkas, he later became principal horn of the Detroit Symphony and ended his career as principal of the San Francisco Symphony. His autobiography, Through the Door: A Horn Player’s Journey, was recently released, and in our conversation David recounts many of the interesting (and funny) stories from the book. In addition to all of his experiences as an orchestral and chamber player, David was also Chair of the Brass Department at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
