Very excited to be bringing Reeds ‘n Stuff products to UTK’s inaugural double reed day.

Thank you sir, and Go Vols.

Dan Ross was an oboist, professor, and entrepreneur. For approximately twenty years, Dan Ross would visit The University of South Florida to teach the many inner workings of creating reeds and playing the oboe.

Though he passed in 2019, Professor Amy Collins invites friends and colleagues to carry on the tradition and Mr. Ross’s memory. I hope you can join us!

The first candidate in the CSO’s Music Director search, Ilya Ram, brings his energetic charisma and expressive spontaneity to the Memorial stage for this mesmerizing performance. The evening commences with Felix Mendelssohn's "Midsummer Night's Dream Overture," Op. 21, conjuring the magical realm of Shakespeare's iconic play through cascading melodies and whimsical harmonies. Grace-Evangeline Mason's "The Imagined Forest" invites listeners into a world of sonic wonder that blurs the line between reality and imagination. Richard Wagner's majestic "Entry of the Gods into Valhalla" from "Das Rheingold" follows, a triumphant procession that resonates with grandeur. The evening culminates with Jean Sibelius' Symphony No. 5, a symphonic masterpiece that ebbs and flows like the Nordic landscapes it was inspired by, leaving the audience awestruck by its sheer beauty.

I’ll be running an exhibit table for Reeds ‘n Stuff at this event organized by Professor Johanna Cox Pennington. Guest artists at this event are Pedro Diaz (English horn with The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra) and George Sakakeeny (Bassoon Professor at the Eastman School of Music).

Join us for Verdi's Falstaff, a musical romp filled with laughter and charm at the Tennessee Theatre. Experience the entertaining antics of Sir John Falstaff, Shakespeare's infamous knight, as he stumbles through misadventures with a mix of wit and audacity.

Crooner Tony DeSare and powerhouse singer Capathia Jenkins join the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra for a tribute to Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and more. An evening of swingin’ standards, including “The Lady is a Tramp,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and “Come Fly with Me.”

I’ll be demonstrating Reeds ‘n Stuff equipment to the oboe studio at Tennessee Tech.

The CSO kicks off its 90th Anniversary Season with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's timeless Scheherazade, a symphonic suite that conjures the magic of Arabian Nights, its lush orchestrations narrating tales of love, adventure, and enchantment. The concert also includes Jessica Wells' Zodiac Animalia, and Sergei Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 1, expertly performed by violin virtuoso and winner of the 2015 Sphinx Competition, Eduardo Rios.
