REED TALK Episode 17 features Marilyn Zupnik, former co-principal of the Minnesota Orchestra. Marilyn tells us about growing up with her father who played principal oboe in the Cleveland Orchestra under George Szell, the Tabuteau School and studying with John de Lancie. It’s a fascinating excursion through our oboe history. And of course we discuss Marilyn’s approach to oboe reed making!
