Genghis Barbie - Horn Quartet

Rachel Drehmann: “Attila the Horn“

An evening of music by everyone from Georges Bizet to Lady Gaga! Genghis Barbie performs arrangements of pop music from all eras, contemporary commissions, and classical works. The group is described as the most versatile and expansive group on New York City’s classical/pop/rock/jazz/indie/alternative/punk/electro-acoustic scene. And they sing, too!

Genghis Barbie was conceived in a unique moment of ingenuity when Freedom Barbie, Tiger Barbie, Velvet Barbie, and Attila the Horn converged and vowed to create distinctive, interactive and personal performances. Balancing individual careers in symphony orchestras in addition to their busy New York City performing schedule, the ladies of Genghis Barbie have performed at multiple International Horn Society Symposiums, premiered a solo commission at Carnegie Hall, and appeared on “America’s Got Talent.”

The leading post post-feminist feminist pop French Horn experience, Genghis Barbie is the most innovative and energizing chamber ensemble of its generation and beyond. With a combined 24 years of conservatory training, Genghis Barbie delivers a visceral and unadulterated musical adventure.
