.. and it’s another young conductor who has been hired. This time it’s for Seattle:

Many thanks to Opera Chic (or, as I first typed “Opera Chip” which she might consider as a new name. Just an idea!) for drawing the video to my attention. Very fun!
My, but it’s been a video day, hasn’t it? That’s good, because I think I’ve run out of anything to say. (Hah. Fat chance!)
A little blurry … but fun to listen to. And wow … they have four double reed faculty members at SUNY Fredonia? I’m betting they have a reed room, too. Sigh.
Mark DuBois, Ann Frockowiak, oboes; Sarah Hamilton, English Horn; Laura Koepke, bassoon:
Dear Oboe, If you were in my possession, I wouldn’t need to play 4 instruments. Love, Darren Ryan.

If you’ve heard the instrument you will hear just how perfectly the cello and French horn can mimic that sound!
I’m at a jazz oboe and bassoon concert… I’m super excited!!! 🙂
Go in to about 6:18. What do you hear? 😉
