of advisement and student teaching. He would have served the University of South Carolina
for 36 years at the conclusion of this academic year in May 2014.
Mr. Pruzin was the Principal Horn in the South Carolina Philharmonic Orchestra for
33 years as well as the Augusta Symphony Orchestra. From 1993-2003, he was the artist-in-residence
at the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts. He was also the creator, producer
and artist performer of a program, "Bring Mozart Alive!" Dressed as a court musician
in the time of Mozart, Mr. Pruzin performed for more than 20,000 elementary school
children throughout the Carolinas, educating future musical audiences about the work
of this great composer.
