Julia Dombek is a freelance horn player based in the greater Boston area. Born and raised in Charleston, West Virginia, she had her first professional orchestral experience performing with the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra at the age of 17, after picking up the horn at 15. Julia was greatly impacted by this and other orchestral experiences and decided to pursue orchestral music professionally. She obtained both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the New England Conservatory.
Julia continues to play with various larger ensembles in the greater Boston area, such as the Massachusetts Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Phoenix Orchestra, and Symphony Nova, for which she was recently awarded a fellowship position. In addition to orchestral experience, she enjoys an active chamber life as a member of her horn quartet, which recently placed first at the International Horn Society's horn quartet competition.
Since Julia grew up in a tightly knit area, she is passionate about community engagement. Consequently, her last brass quartet was awarded a fellowship by the Virginia Arts Festival to perform and workshop throughout public schools within the Virginia Beach area. To this end, she looks forward to getting to know more of the greater Boston area through teaching! Julia has been with Note-worthy Experiences since June 2016.
