Richard “Gus” Sebring is the Principal Horn player of the Boston Symphony Orchestra — one of the top orchestras in the world. He’s widely known in the classical music community and has had a long and distinguished career.
🎺 Who He Is
Full name: Richard “Gus” Sebring
Current role: Principal Horn of the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) — he assumed this position in April 2023, becoming the 14th musician to hold that chair in the orchestra’s long history.
He holds the Helen Sagoff Slosberg / Edna S. Kalman endowed chair as Principal Horn.
Prior to becoming principal horn, he served for many years as associate principal horn and also as principal horn of the Boston Pops Orchestra.
🎶 Background & Career Highlights
Sebring joined the BSO in 1981 and has had a long tenure with the orchestra, giving him deep institutional experience.
He’s also a composer, arranger, and educator, teaching at places like the New England Conservatory of Music, Berklee College of Music, and the Tanglewood Music Center.
His work includes performances on recordings and film soundtracks, and he’s noted for his versatility across classical, pops, and studio music.
⚙️ Notable Achievements
He was selected as principal horn after a rigorous blind audition process involving over 150 candidates, which speaks to his artistic and technical excellence.
In addition to his orchestral role, Sebring has contributed to arrangements for the Boston Pops, and his horn playing is featured in well‑known recordings and performances.
The instrument for sale:
C.A. Zoebisch & Sons was a New York‑based importer, dealer, and maker of brass and other musical instruments in the mid‑to‑late 1800s. The company operated in Manhattan and was involved in selling and sometimes manufacturing brass instruments such as horns and trombones.
Today, the name is mainly encountered in historical instrument collections (for example, a Zoebisch‑branded trombone in the The Metropolitan Museum of Art).
