Ian Hopkin is an esteemed musician, teacher and the Principal Bassoonist of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony. Beginning his studies relatively separated from his instrument, Ian has a particularly compelling story regarding his transition from student to professional life. Having played with a number of the major Canadian orchestras Ian's knowledge of the repertoire and approach is one of great refinement, as is his playing. Beyond this, Ian is active in the K-W Symphony's outreach programs, a teacher in many modes, and is simply a lovely and friendly person.

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and Enjoy.
