A huge thank you to @marigaux_paris and @rdgwoodwinds for my beautiful new 920A oboe! It plays like a dream—I was able to make the switch so quickly and effortlessly, even after 25 years playing another brand of oboe. #marigaux #marigauxartist #marigaux_paris #rdgwoodwinds #oboe @anniecatcello 📸
“My most memorable performance with the San Francisco Symphony was in 2018, during my first national tour a year after joining the orchestra. We performed Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring at Carnegie Hall, and the atmosphere was electric from beginning to end. The orchestra was playing at its peak, and there was a shared sense on stage that we were part of something extraordinary.”
-James Button, Associate Principal Oboe
