December 4th was my first concert with RTOOT. So. Much. Fun. Even with all of the other crazy stuff going on, I’m really glad I’ve been playing with them. Four oboes in an orchestra. Who would have thought that would work?
The theme for the concert was “Ten years of terrible,” since this was the 10th anniversary of RTOOT. Here’s what we played:
Overture to “Zampa” – Herold
“Ashokan Farewell” – Unger
