Virtuoso Series Concert
Digging through the Filing Cabinet (The Search for Hidden Treasures)
Gary Moody, Oboe
Tuesday, February 3
Moody says, "My mother would have asked, 'Why are you buying more music when you haven’t played the music you have?' A very good question, so for this recital, I went digging through my filing cabinet to find music I owned but had never actually played. In addition to finding many mis-filed, I found a number of treasures tucked away, waiting patiently to be performed. Which ones will finally see the light of day? Join us to find out."
