Zachary K.-

Born in Reading, Pennsylvania in 1994. When he was 7 years old, he moved to Clermont, Florida and have been in the area since. His journey with music started when he was 5 in the youth choir program at church in Fleetwood, Pennsylvania. A few years after he moved, he joined the middle school band where he picked up his primary instrument, the French Horn. He immediately fell in love with the horn and began to advance at a rapid pace. In the 7th grade, his director pushed him to get a double horn since he had already outgrown his student model single horn. In grade school, he was lucky enough to be a part of honors bands, brass ensembles, and to have taken solos to the state Solo and Ensemble festival. Since entering college, he studies under Horn under the direction of Valencia College Band Director Jon Territo. He has been playing French Horn for just over 10 years and he is passionate about sharing his love for brass instruments and music.
