ABOUT THE EVENT

Join UMD double reed faculty Emily Tsai (oboe) and Joseph Grimmer (bassoon) for the School of Music's Double Reed Day! This free event is an opportunity for double reed players to experience what being a student at the UMD School of Music is like, and will include include recital performances, oboe and bassoon masterclasses and a Q&A discussion with faculty. All attendees will also have the opportunity to perform in a Double Reed Choir, so bring your instrument and be ready to play! Parents are encouraged to stay for our "Talk with Parents - How to be Supportive Double Reed Parent" session. We will also be hosting a number of double reed vendors so you can explore the latest instruments, equipment and supplies throughout the day.
