I am about 10 months into my return to playing after 20 years and enjoying myself immensely.

Played several concerts as Oboe II with a community orchestra and now am playing Oboe I for a local university's summer orchestra (mix of students + older community folks like me). Interesting and challenging program including Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition (rarer Tushmalov arrangement, not Ravel), Britten's Matinees Musicales, Corigliano's Elegy for Orchestra, and a Tuba (!) concerto by Sanae Kanda.

Lots of great, meaty oboe solos in Britten and Pictures. Sight reading is certainly the skill with the longest return lag. First rehearsal was challenging and at times embarrassing. But great fun, with rehearsals and the concert in a beautiful historic hall with excellent acoustics.
