  1. HORA is a dance.

    Humanitarian Outreach Refugee Agencies is NOT a US (United States) Foundation, it is a UN (United Nations) effort, as part of the larger UNHCR (UN Humanitarian Refugee) organization, in which each nation, including the US, has efforts to help with the UN efforts.

  2. About Hora Decima

    The "Hora Decima Brass Ensemble" is dedicated to the presentation, promotion, and preservation of music for brass instruments. In today's world of the internet, MTV, videocassettes, and synthesizers, accoustic instrument groups face stiff competition. While there are many smaller brass groups performing today, the appearance of a large brass ensemble is a rare event. Sometimes symphony orchestras will feature their brass sections in one or two selections in an orchestra concert, but full concert programs by large brass groups are seldom heard outside of college music departments. The Hora Decima Brass Ensemble is the only large brass ensemble of professional players in the New York City area that plays together on a regular basis.

    Founded thirteen years ago by trombonist David Chamberlain, the Hora DBE began as a workshop experience for professional players to enjoy brass literature. The most common reaction of the musicians was, "Wow, I haven't had a chance to do this since I was in school!"

    Regular monthly readings led to a desire to share this great sound with the public. The Hora DBE has appeared at the New York Brass Conference and several area churches and universities. Members of the group have

    performed with the New York Philharmonic, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Orchestra of St. Luke's, Fairfield Orchestra, several Broadway shows, recordings, and with such artists as Johnny Mathis, the Temptations, and Tito Puente.

    The Hora DBE performs original music composed for eight to twenty-one brass and percussion players as well as transcriptions of other well-known works. By commissioning new works, the Hora DBE hopes to add to the brass repertoire and bring these new works and composers to the attention of the general public.

    As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, The Hora DBE solicits foundation grants and accepts individual contributions to support its activities.

    This is the only Hora i know of, so i dont think its much use to you, hope you enjoyed what i wrote, as you can see, i'm a brass instrument fanatic.
