I remember sitting in 6th grade band playing clarinet when my music teacher announced that the school had a couple of bassoons, oboes, and french horns for students to try. We had a brand new middle school that came with new instruments! I didn’t know much about bassoon at the time, but it looked interesting and I liked the low range. What do you like about playing with a symphony orchestra? The bassoon often accompanies other instruments and I love creating different textures and colors with other musicians in the orchestra. How do you spend your time outside of the PSO? I spend time with my husband and my two children who are 11 and 8 years old. I always have a knitting project in my bag, if not in my hands. I work full-time in marketing analytics. What is your favorite piece of music to play on your instrument? Playing a Vivalidi bassoon concerto is like comfort food in musical form. Tell us about your musical education. I studied with Janet Polk at the University of NH. |
