We have apparently received new funding! This has turned into an event of fairly massive proportions. There are oboists coming from all over the country. In the masterclass, the Windfest oboes are playing (4 which include Heather and Dani from the Laurier studio), along with Graham (recent Laurier studio alumnus and principal of the Windsor Symphony) and the principal oboe from the Saskatoon Symphony, for a total of 6.

Schedule is as follows:
10-12 Brian‘s master class
1-4 Alex‘s master class
8 Recital

Truth to be told, I was a little surprised and scared when Jim said all the Laurier oboes were going to be playing. So my response now, finding out I am not, in fact, going to display my “skills” for a bunch of oboes from all over the country? Relief. Mostly.

Also a little disappointment.

C’est la vie?

Edit edit edit! I am going to be playing, too. Hooray! Yikes!

And something that made me giggle. A LOT.
