Thirty French horns gather at dusk near La Jolla Project — and the results are nothing short of elemental. The French horn carries centuries of outdoor heritage in its bell: born on the hunt, perfected in the concert hall, and here, finally, set free again under open sky. As the sun sets over UCSD’s Stuart Collection, Hornswoggle transforms the iconic LA Jolla project into a landscape of pure resonance. Thirty players spread across the grounds, their instruments' long, curling bells catching the last light as they send waves of sound rolling across the open air — hunting calls and fanfares, folk songs and chorales, music that feels as ancient and alive as the landscape itself. This is the feral beauty of the horn in its element: not confined to a stage, but dispersed, echoing, surrounding. Against the backdrop of one of San Diego's most beloved public artworks, the concert becomes a collision of worlds. Westwind Brass on Facebook / Instagram
