At the age of 39 and three quarters, Jasper Rees fished his French horn out of the attic and took it to the British Horn Society festival. Along with 69 other horn players, he stood onstage and played Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. There and then, despite severely limited ability, he set himself a near impossible target: to stand up in front of a paying audience in twelve months' time and play a Mozart concerto. Alone. I FOUND MY HORN is the story of a midlife crisis spent with 18 feet of wrapped brass tubing.

Everyone says the same thing. Don't do it.
