Henry Langley

About

Henry Langley is a horn player based in Melbourne, having recently finished his Bachelor of Music (Degree with Honours) at the University of Melbourne, studying with Carla Blackwood and Nico Fleury. Henry began playing the horn in his first year at high school – having learnt the double bass previously. Henry’s first orchestral experiences took place in regional and summer school programs; however, it wasn’t until his first experience with the Australian Youth Orchestra that he decided he wanted to fully pursue his passion for orchestral playing. Since his first AYO program in 2022, Henry has participated in five orchestral seasons in the cities of Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Hobart and Perth. He has spent two National Music Camps in Adelaide, playing principal horn of the Bishop Orchestra in 2024, as well as participating in the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra Fellowship program. He has played twice with the AYO Momentum Ensemble in locations such as Sydney’s St James’ Church and Adelaide’s UKARIA. In 2023, Henry toured with the University of Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in Singapore and Malaysia, which was an enriching experience that provided him with valuable insight into the touring life of an orchestral musician.
