Oboist, IDRS Honorary Member, and longtime oboe editor of The Double Reed, Daniel Stolper was a brilliant musician, pedagogue, accomplished writer and editor, and an iconic figure in our community since its inception almost fifty years ago. He served on the faculty at Michigan State University, Interlochen Arts Academy, and Interlochen Arts Camp. He also held positions in the San Antonio Symphony, New Orleans Philharmonic, and Lansing Symphony during his remarkable career. He will be deeply missed.
It seems like just yesterday we were at #IDRS2014 in New York City. August 5th-9th was an exhilarating week packed full of extraordinary events. We are grateful for Matthew Sullivan (#oboe) and NYU for hosting us! #IDRSThrowback50 🍎
