The China Horn Ensemble was first conceived in Beijing in 2015 by Yi Man, horn professor at the Central Conservatory of Music, with the aim of developing and popularizing horn music in China. This idea soon attracted much attention and support from outstanding Chinese horn players all over the world. Finally, the China Horn Ensemble was officially founded in the fall 2015 in Beijing and has since become one of the nation's top chamber ensembles. The group has also enjoyed an international reputation since its founding.
