Ted Belke, french horn

Ted took up the french horn in grade 7 after correctly identifying it as "the curly one" on the first day of band class. It was a good fit and Ted continued to play in a number of ensembles throughout high school and eventually studied the instrument under William Gordon at Brandon University.

Ted was lured away from music by the pursuit of a glamorous career in library science but maintained his interest by creating electro-acoustic experimental music as a pastime. He has since re-united with his horn to play with both the Counterpoint Community Orchestra and the Brass Conspiracy.
