Mike Pandorf, hornist, grew up in a musical home in Indianapolis, Indiana. Taking an interest in music from a young age, he sang with children's choirs before picking up the French Horn in 6th grade. Mike pursued music through the rest of his education. Eventually, he earned a degree in performance from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, where he studied with Michael Hatfield and Jeff Nelsen. After moving to Seattle during the pandemic, Mike began performing with the Cascade Symphony Orchestra, Octava Chamber Orchestra, and smaller chamber groups throughout the PNW. Mike spends his days teaching preschool in Magnolia and is the father of three wonderful boys. He loves to spend his spare time engaging in amateur home improvement and handyman activities when he's not playing the horn.
Mike would like to dedicate this performance to two musicians who inspired him to pursue music and chase his dreams, Susan Pandorf and Kent Leslie.
