Dorrie Nutt

Before joining the WLRH staff, Dorrie spent many, MANY years as a classical musician, playing the French Horn in any ensemble that would let her in the door! She recently retired from the Huntsville Symphony following a 37 year career, and played in groups as diverse as Woodwind Quintets and Brass Bands. From churches to schools to Broadway shows, she’s joined in any kind of music that a French Horn could play. Dorrie has also taught at UAH, Alabama A&M, Oakwood University and at her home studio—everyone from 5th graders to grown-ups.

Dorrie enjoys riding her bike, swimming, and reading good books, or anything that isn’t nailed down—she spent most of her elementary school life in trouble for reading a book in her lap. She’s married to Jerry, and loves walking her hound dog “Ella Fitzgerald” while listening to Morning Edition. She looks forward to continuing to “play music”—this time on the radio!
