Roger Caruk (horn) |
Roger Caruk was born and raised in the wilds of Connecticut. After graduating from the University of Connecticut, he moved to Boston Massachusetts to hide in a ghoulish lab at Brigham and Women's Hospital. When he wasn't up to his aorta in blood samples, he was playing French Horn with various orchestras, such as Longwood Symphony, New Philharmonia, Hingham Symphony, Emmanuel Music, Newton Symphony, etc.. But the call of the wild was too much for Roger to ignore, and Connecticut once again became his home. He has been welcomed back by the likes of the Hartford Brass Quintet, New Britain Symphony, Connecticut Virtuosi, West Hartford Symphony, and Eastern CT Symphony, and St. Francis Hospital has quenched his taste for blood.
