Don't miss guest artist, Elizabeth Camus, in a master class on Saturday, October 22 at 7pm in Rm 1080 Mason Hall (free). Elizabeth Camus has been second oboist of the Cleveland Orchestra since 1979, having previously served as principal oboe of the San Antonio and Atlanta Symphonies. A native of New Orleans, she was youth soloist with both the New Orleans Symphony and the Cleveland Orchestra, and received her training at CIM. She is currently a member of the faculties of Case Western Reserve University and CIM. Previous faculty appointments include Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory, Cleveland State University and Kent State University, as well as Agnes Scott College and Georgia State University in Atlanta. She has given master classes in many venues in the United States and Canada, and a number of her former students hold teaching and performing positions in both countries. 

Double Reed Day at SUNY Fredonia is for Middle and High School oboists and bassoonists to come and spend the day working with the double reed faculty and students in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere.

The day will include: master classes focusing on both solo performing and the techniques of playing, reed-making classes focusing on how to adjust reeds so they will work more easily and successfully; coached double reed chamber music reading sessions and a final double reed ensemble performance.

Participants will have the opportunity to visit exhibitors that will be on-site, including Carlos Coelho Woodwinds and Miller Marketing, who will have double reed instruments, double reed music, and supplies available for sale. Also, available until 1 p.m. will be free instrument repair by woodwind repair technician Brenda Small.
