UT San Antonio Double Reeds

Going into his senior year, oboist Logan Odom has never had the opportunity to be around more than a handful of other oboists. By supporting our fundraiser to get the UT San Antonio double reed students to the conference in Oxford, Ohio you can help Logan not only help surrounded by hundreds of oboists, but some of the biggest names for the instrument.

With only a few days left, please consider donating through the link in the comments. Even $5 will help support our students as we travel across the US to give a world premiere at an international conference.

We are entering our last week of fundraising and we still need your help - we are 47% of the way to our $4,600 goal to get our four amazing double reed players to the Conference in Oxford, Ohio to give the world premiere of their newly commissioned work.

Today we focus in on Francis Maille, a French horn music education major that has been seriously studying the bassoon the last few semester. We asked Francis what going to the International Double Reed Society Conference would mean to him:

“Going to IDRS would mean so much to be able to meet and expand my network of double reed players. Especially because I never got the chance to really involve myself with other bassoon and oboe players until I got to college.”

If you can, please donate at the link in comments - even $5 will make a huge difference. Remember, you get a limited edition sticker by for donating! If you can’t donate, please share our post and let’s get our Roadrunner Double Reeds to IDRS!
