"Tim Thorpe is one of the UK’s finest young French horn players. As well as a superstar chamber, orchestral and solo player, he plays with a musicality that beguiles his tender years. Tim has a knack of making the French horn sound easy with a sweet yet powerful sound which he controls with astonishing agility. He has raised the standard of British Horn playing to dizzying heights!"

Dominic Seldis. Solo Double Bass Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Judge on BBC's Maestro

"The evening’s hero was principal horn Tim Thorpe for his beautifully articulated solos and the burnished tone of his section."
