ABOUT
Click here to hear me play.
This is the oboe site of Patricia Emerson Mitchell.
Okay … that’s my name for programs. Everyone else calls me Patty (or mom, or “hey you”, and one person even called me “dude”).
I began blogging in January of 2003. (You can read my old blog pages compiled here if you want to waste a lot of time!)
I am the principal oboist of Opera San Jose, second oboist for Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley, second oboist (acting principal for 2003-2004) and English hornist of Symphony Silicon Valley. I also freelance in the Bay Area, and teach at University of California, Santa Cruz and privately at my home.
Wondering what I’m doing at the moment? Check out my performance schedule and you’ll see! Want to know what I have done? Check out my resumé.
At this site you will find information for students at UCSC and my private students. Along with a whole lot of other stuff. Just because.
