The oboe and the bassoon are orchestra mainstays, but they are seldom granted solo roles or put in the spotlight together. Belmont and Breczinski’s brilliance in playing these difficult instruments leaves one wondering why and wanting more. In last year’s festival opening, they played beautifully and engaged their audience with fascinating stories about the pieces they chose. This year’s audience is bound to be charmed once again.

Next up in this outstanding summer series, now celebrating its 45^th season, will be a concert on Monday, July 2 headlined by the sensational violinist Irina Muresanu.
