Richard Burdick has been the first horn for Regina Symphony Orchestra since 2003, when he moved to Regina from Northern California. He worked full-time for Sacramento Symphony in the 1990’s, and was principal horn for Napa Symphony in the late 1980’s. He has been a member of the Music in the Mountains Summer festival orchestra in Grass Valley California since 1993 and principal since 2016. He has performed concerti by Burdick, Haydn, Mozart, Quantz, Strauss and Telemann.
Mr. Burdick’s primary focus is horn performance, but is also an active composer. His compositions are often based on scales suggested by the patterns of the I Ching. He works in a number of different styles from neo-classical, microtonal, meditative, and post-avant-garde. Music with video is an important part of his prolific yield.
Richard is an active recording artist who records his own works and a variety of authentic-practice classical works (natural horn), and horn ensemble works.
