The Island Now

Oboe players of all ages and levels of proficiency are invited to take part in Hofstra University’s 3rd Annual Oboe Day, on Saturday, Oct. 24 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the New Academic Building on Hofstra’s South Campus. 

The history of the oboe may be traced back to the mid-17th century. It is a slender woodwind instrument with a conical bore and a double-reed mouthpiece, having a range of three octaves and a penetrating, poignant sound.  

Oboe Day activities include: Master Class with Judith Dansker (Professor of Oboe, Hofstra University); Oboe Reed Clinic with Heidi Wolfgang, instrument repair technician;· Mini Private Lessons; Oboe Ensemble (All participants are invited to play!)

 Admission is free and includes lunch. For more information call 917-991-1045 or email hevrehmusic@gmail.com.
