Lucarelli Oboe Master Class

July 28 - August 2, 2024

The 28th Annual Bert Lucarelli Oboe Master Class will be presented this summer by Ling-Fei Kang, The Hotchkiss School, and Kristin Leitterman, Assistant Professor of Oboe at Arkansas State University.  The focus will be on solo performance, the fundamentals of oboe-playing and reed-making skills. Participants will have intensive oboe instruction for five days, resulting in a performance on the last day.  Ms. Kang and Dr. Leitterman will work intensively one-on-one with each person in half-hour segments, carefully assessing each oboist’s strengths and needs to improve performance skills.  A faculty recital will be performed mid-week.  All participants will have an opportunity to play for Karen Birch Blundell (Eastern Music Festival) in a special class that will focus on recital repertoire.  A piano accompanist will be provided during the classes and for the concert.
