Overview
Since 2006, BassoonaRAMa and OboeRAMa have brought together bassoonists and oboists of all ages! The day-long event features today's multifaceted musicians who explore what it means to have a life and success in and around music. Guest clinicians include chamber and orchestral musicians, college professors, music researchers, and professional reed manufacturers.
We welcome bassoon and oboe students of all levels, teachers, and enthusiasts to join us for a day of masterclasses, academic presentations, reed roundtables, recitals, and discussions about all things bassoon and oboe.
