If you are in an area that has a high density of musicians, it is not unusual to go to a trombone recital, say, and see lots of other trombonists. They either want to see what the competition is, get positive reinforcement for what they want to do, or know the performer. In the case of Baumann, some of New York's top horn players were probably in the audience (and I do mean top--Philharmonic types), as Baumann is considered one of the great horn players of the world. The top professionals will go hear one another to see what the competition is, etc., etc.
