Glen Estrin: Horn Player Now Serving with The Leon Fleisher Foundation for Musicians with Dystonia
Manage episode 428736177 series 3585646
Today, we welcome Glen Estrin, an in-demand horn player who spent years working, recording and touring as Frank Sinatra’s go-to horn player.
in May 1998, he lost his ability to play and was subsequently diagnosed with Embouchure Dystonia by Dr. Stephen Frucht.
After an overwhelming response to an article they wrote together about the condition in the newsletter for AFM Local 802 - New York - they decided to form a new support group called Musicians with Dystonia, now called the Leon Fleisher Foundation, which is aligned with the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation.
Glen has spent the last 25 years supporting and advocating for musicians with dystonia, so we are grateful to have him join us on our podcast!
