Indiana University Bloomington undergraduate student Briana Tarby is the winner of the Jacobs School of Music’s annual Woodwind Concerto Competition. A student of Jacobs Professor Linda Strommen and Associate Professor Roger Roe, Tarby will perform Richard Strauss’s Oboe Concerto with the University Orchestra under the baton of Professor Uriel Segal on Sunday, April 18, at 3 p.m. in the Musical Arts Center (101 N. Jordan Ave.). She will also receive the Namita Pal Commemorative Award, which is offered annually to the competition winner.
Congratulations to Ms. Tarby … wish I lived nearby, as I’d love to hear the Strauss! (But I’ll take our climate over Indiana’s, thank you very much.)
(I am going to post double reed competition winners as I find them … something I’ve not done before. Feel free to contact me at pattyoboe [at] me [dot] com if you have news you’d like me to post.)
