Education is an integral part of Music Mountain's mission. Since our founding, we have provided opportunities to study chamber performance in an informal setting with master teachers. This season is no different. We are pleased to host the following workshops and festivals.
Bert Lucarelli will present his Seventh Annual Oboe Master Class focusing on solo performance including the fundamentals of oboe-playing and reed-making skills. Participants will have intensive oboe instruction for five days, culminating in a performance on Friday in Music Mountain’s Gordon Hall.
