Double Reed Day
I’m delighted to be the featured guest at this fun Double Reed Day! You can register at https://arts.unl.edu/music/double-reed-day/.
This will be a day of masterclasses, performances, reedmaking, and MORE!
Happiest Musician Planning Workshop 2025
This reflective and inspiring time is something I can give to my musical community. To my portfolio career musicians who want something to CHANGE. I’m opening a free Zoom room on December 30 at 1:00 ET. We can spend an hour or two in this quietest time of the year, before the craziness starts up again, and we can reflect on last year and think about how to make things different. Better. More interesting and more abundant.
Because I want to see you THRIVING!
Oboe Concerto Masterclass
For oboists who want to feel more confident in performance and want to explore concerto repertoire with a pianist.
This friendly in-person experience includes a ticket to the Friday evening concert and admission to the Saturday masterclass. If you are chosen to play, a piano accompanist can be provided. Depending on enrollment, we might even do two sessions Saturday!
Standing up in front of the orchestra is a happy place for me, but many people get intimidated when they think of soloing. I’ll demystify the process and help you to open up your approach.
We can make a safe place for experimenting, and we can help you to find your SOLOIST voice!
Ruth Gipps Oboe Concerto
Ruth Gipps’s outstanding oboe concert in D minor is a midcentury masterpiece that’s only just beginning to be played frequently.
