🎶 New Performance Video Series!

We're excited to share a new video project that Dr. Andrew W. Parker has been working on! Over the next several months, we'll be releasing a new performance video each month featuring works for oboe that we're excited to share.

We begin with Joan Tower’s Composition for Oboe; a wonderful work for solo oboe that explores the instrument’s incredible range of colors through a free atonal language. It’s a piece he has really enjoyed spending time with, and is thrilled to finally share this performance.

A huge thank you to Stuart Breczinski for his incredible work as audio/visual engineer and producer, and for helping bring this project to life!

We hope you enjoy the first installment and stay tuned for more over the coming months! 🎵

You can also watch the full performance on youtube:
