Fairfax Symphony Orchestra: John Ferrillo, oboe April 21, 2007

"One of the world's finest wind players" is William Hudson's judgment of oboist John Ferrillo - and Maestro Hudson is in a fine position to know, since Mr. Ferrillo, now principal of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, is also a former member of the Fairfax Symphony!

He will bring us not only Bach's Concerto for Oboe and Violin, BWV 1060 (with FSO Concertmaster David Salness) but also the local premiere of the startlingly beautiful new Oboe Concerto by one of today's trend-setting composers, Jennifer Higdon.

John Ferrillo will also present an Oboe Master Class from 10:00am-12:00pm at George Mason University's Performing Arts Building (Room 323).
