I read it here.
Entertaining the idea of eventually learning to play every symphonic instrument except maybe the oboe or the clarinet or the bassoon or anything lame like the flute, or the euphonium. actually, euphoniums are cool, not as cool as euphoniumists though..

I just received this from a reader … hope some of you can attend!
The Sunday concert will be free and for the students the ticket prices are $5 on Saturday. Also, on Sunday they will do “Instrument Petting Zoo” during the intermission, where musicians will take their instruments and talk about them to the audience members.
(And Daniel, have a wonderful concert!)
Josef Myslivecek (1737-1781) is not a name I recognized when I ran into this video. What a surprise to read about him. I’ve read several books about Mozart, but somehow this name didn’t catch my attention, or wasn’t even mentioned. I’ll have to go back and look at them again and see.
Here’s a part of his opera Antigona:
[name here] had a spiritual experience on oboe. unfortunately, it was somebody else’s oboe. the good news – i’m not as bad as i thought i was. the bad news – my oboe’s worse than i thought it was.
Stafford Hartman plans to sing her behind-the-scenes role in an opera tonight at the Orpheum from a wheelchair.
Hartman, 24, was shot in her right knee and a bullet grazed her left ear as she was robbed outside her home on Wednesday after rehearsal for the opera “Tosca.”
“He said give me all of your stuff,” Hartman said Friday.
“I just said no; I don’t know why,” said Hartman, who is bedridden now and will need crutches for about six weeks.
I think maybe I would have said, “sure, take the darn stuff.”
After 25 min of #oboe, my cheeks are ready to go on strike.
How about a little Cecilia Bartoli for the afternoon?
… and because it is just too much fun, the second video from this:
After a good couple hours playing oboe, time to chop up some pineapple…and watch some Ninja Turtles. Yes.
(Oops! I forgot to prepare these for posting, and nothing at all went up yesterday for the “QODs”. Bet you were sad about that. Or not.)
Welcome to land of no cell phone reception. Yay oboe practice time. I see what they did there lol
