WCPE “Preview!” Features Oboist Joseph Robinson
Interview to Air May 11
WAKE FOREST, N.C. (May 6, 2008)—TheClassicalStation.org announces today that its weekly program “Preview!” will feature an interview with oboist Joseph Robinson. The interview can be heard during the station’s Sunday, May 11 program that airs from 6-9 p.m. ET.
During the program, Robinson will discuss with “Preview!” host Deana Vassar his 27-year career as Principal Oboe with the New York Philharmonic. In addition, the two will talk about Robinson’s favorite conductors to work with, as well as his May 18 performance with The Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle.
“It has been said that Joseph Robinson has ‘the power to turn a simple note into bliss,’” says Vassar. “His concert with the Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle performing Vaughan Williams’ ‘A Minor Concerto’ should make for a dream of an afternoon."
Robinson remains active in the musical community since retiring from the Philharmonic in 2005. He continues to appear as an oboe soloist, chamber musician, teacher and clinician. He is Artist in Residence at Duke University during the spring semester, and spends time in the summer coaching and teaching aspiring musicians at the Bowdoin International Music Festival.
“Preview!” is a weekly feature that airs every Sunday evening from 6–9 p.m. ET and presents the latest in classical recordings and upcoming classical events. WCPE’s live broadcast of Great Classical Music 24, Hours a Day can be accessed around the globe in several ways: on-line streaming in multiple formats, including IPv6; local cable television systems; and traditional radio broadcasting.
