Leonard Falcone
About
Leonard Vincenzo Falcone (Fal-CONE-ee) (5 April 1899 – May 2, 1985) was an Italian-American musician, conductor, arranger, lecturer, and educator. He was well known as a virtuoso on the baritone horn, having extensively performed, written, and educated on the instrument. Falcone was best known as Director of Bands and Professor of Tuba and Euphonium at Michigan State University and as director of the Spartan Marching Band from 1927 through 1967. During Falcone's tenure at MSU the band expanded from a small ROTC auxiliary band to a large nationally known Big Ten marching band. Scholarship endowments at Michigan State University and Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp were established in his honor, as was the Leonard Falcone International Tuba and Euphonium Festival.
