The Mary T. McCurdy Chair

Rebekah Daley has held the position of Principal Horn of the North Carolina Symphony since 2012. She has enjoyed several opportunities to solo with the orchestra during that time, a highlight being her 2016 performance of Strauss’s Second Horn Concerto. She has also been active behind the scenes, serving the orchestra on several committees. Outside of her home orchestra, she has appeared as guest principal with The Cleveland Orchestra, the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Eastern Music Festival Orchestra.

Daley has always had a great love for chamber music: cultivated through the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra program, continued at the Marlboro Music Festival, and now shared as a faculty member at the Hidden Valley Festival of Winds. Her own musical education includes graduate work at the Shepherd School of Music following a bachelor’s degree from the Curtis Institute of Music.
