Fredonia's first Oboe Day features the return of popular eclectic Quartetto Gelato oboist Colin Maier, this time in recital with accordionist and fellow Gelato member Charles Cozens, as special guests.
The event, open to all, will be held on Sunday, Oct. 21 in Mason Hall. A Fredonia School of Music registration fee of $25 includes lunch and an afternoon concert with the guest artists.
Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) credit will be available for all oboists of any age or stage, whether just starting out or out looking for new ideas.
The day will include a master class with Mr. Maier for everyone, chamber and large ensemble music reading sessions with Fredonia School of Music oboe students, and the afternoon recital.
Enthusiasts are urged to attend to learn more about playing the oboe, to spend time with the local oboe community and hear new directions the oboe is going in! Jim Mason, of Jimboe Oboe Products, will be bringing instruments for trial and purchase. Attendees are asked to contact him directly with specific requests. Oboe repair technician Brenda Small will be available all day for free instrument repairs.
