Mar. 5, 1931, Melbourne; British horn player of Australian birth) Washington post WWW site, viewed Jan. 21, 2020 (in obituary dated Jan. 17, 2020: Barry Tuckwell, an Australian virtuoso of the French horn, died Jan. 16 in Melbourne. He was 88. He was 24 when, in 1955, he became principal horn player with the London Symphony Orchestra, a post he held for 13 years. In 1968, Mr. Tuckwell left the London symphony to strike out on his own. A case of "right arm disease"--his jesting term for the lure of the conductor's podium--led him to pursue conducting opportunities, as well, and in 1982, he became founding music director of the Maryland Symphony Orchestra in Hagerstown. Mr. Tuckwell retired from performing in 1997 and left his post in Maryland the following year, eventually returning to his native Australia. Barry Emmanuel Tuckwell was born in Prahran, a suburb of Melbourne, on March 5, 1931. In 1950, Mr. Tuckwell moved to England, where his appointments came to include a teaching position at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Mr. Tuckwell led the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra in Australia before founding his ensemble in Hagerstown, a small city in western Maryland. Mr. Tuckwell lived for a period in Hagerstown and became a U.S. citizen before returning to Australia)
