Johanna Lundy
Johanna Lundy is the horn professor at the University of Arizona School of Music. She held the position of principal horn with the Tucson Symphony for 15 years and has played across the US, Mexico, and Europe in solo, recital, and orchestral settings. Her 2018 solo album Canyon Songs was hailed by Gramophone as “simply breathtaking” and an “impressively virtuoso performance.” Lundy is the founder and director of the Borderlands Ensemble, a horn and strings chamber group devoted to sharing the stories of the borderlands region through unique
concert experiences. The ensemble regularly collaborates with artists to create programs based on themes of Mexican and Chicanx history and has been building new repertoire by American, Mexican, and Indigenous composers. The group released their first album the space in which to see in 2021. “[Their] vast talents illuminate the rich culture of the American Southwest with much intrigue” (Take Effect) and add “a most welcome addition to the catalogue” (Art Music Lounge). A dedicated teacher, Lundy’s teaching style emphasizes physical and mental wellness, orchestral audition preparation, and artist development. Students are encouraged to explore creative projects and collaborate across disciplines. Former students have gone on to varied careers in music and positions with professional orchestras and military bands. She holds a Bachelor of Music from the Oberlin Conservatory and a Master of Music from the New England Conservatory. Lundy serves as an Advisory Council member and the Treasurer of the International Horn Society.
