Bienen School of Music Appoints New Horn Professor

Adam Unsworth will begin his tenure as of September 1, 2025

 

Northwestern University’s Bienen School of Music, in Illinois, USA, has appointed Adam Unsworth as its new professor of horn beginning in the fall. He has held the same role at the University of Michigan’s School of Music, Theatre and Dance since 2007. 

Also serving as principal horn of the Ann Arbor Symphony, Unsworth was previously a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra

Other experiences include touring with the San Francisco Symphony and playing as a guest with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. For the past five years, he has played in the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra. 

Alongside his jazz albums, Unsworth is a member of Miho Hazama’s M-Unit band, and New York’s Gil Evans Project big band, which received two GRAMMY nominations, plus won the 2013 Jazz Journalist Association Award for large jazz ensemble of the year. 

His other upcoming roles include joining the faculty at the Brevard Music Festival this summer. Unsworth is a graduate of Northwestern University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 

“Adam Unsworth is a well-respected pedagogue and performer whose wide-ranging career spans orchestral, chamber, and solo work in a broad range of genres, including classical, jazz, and new music,” said Dean Jonathan Bailey Holland. “He will be a valuable addition to the Bienen School’s renowned performance faculty.”
