Subj: [DR-L] Northwest Oboe Seminar Concert!
Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2005 00:59:37 -0400
"The oboe's a horn made of wood,
I'd play you a tune if I could,
but the reeds are a pain
and the fingering's insane.
It's the ill wind that no one blows good."
Attributed to Ogden Nash
Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 20 to hear oboists that play
marvelously well! (:
This special evening will feature the participants of the 12th annual
Northwest Oboe Seminar in some solos, trios, and our fabulous large

Special returning guest Fred Korman (Oregon Symphony) will perform a solo

one of the lovely Handel Double Sonatas.
Also, long-time Seminar participant Seann Branchfield will have his
compositions featured for the third year.
We will have our traditional reception after the concert featuring products
for sale by our Seminar sponsors - MCW Woodwinds and Jones Double Reed

P.S. And as Danny Kaye sang in the 1947 movie "The Secret Life of Walter
Mitty":
"Pa was forced to be a hobo
Because he played the oboe
And the oboe it is clearly understood
Is an ill wind that no one blows good."
(I believe the lyrics were written by his wife, Sylvia Fine. The song title
is "Anatole of Paris")
