Featured guests CORolina, a dynamic horn quartet formed in 2024, brings together four of North Carolina’s leading horn performers and educators: Travis Bennett (Western Carolina University), Dakota Corbliss (Appalachian State University), Abigail Pack (UNC Greensboro), and Maria Serkin (UNCSA). Known for their engaging performances and adventurous programming, CORolina performs a wide range of repertoire, from beloved classics and inventive arrangements to music by underrepresented composers and newly commissioned works.

With appearances at the Southeast Regional Horn Conference, the International Horn Symposium, and upcoming performances at the International Women’s Brass Conference, CORolina has quickly become one of the region’s most exciting chamber ensembles.

Set in the relaxed atmosphere of Footnote Coffee & Cocktails, Hops & Horns offers audiences the chance to experience the warmth, brilliance, and versatility of the horn quartet up close in an intimate and welcoming setting. Whether you’re a longtime classical music fan or simply looking for a unique night out in downtown Winston-Salem, this concert promises an evening full of energy, connection, and extraordinary music-making.
