A brief biography:	Fahime Taghavi is a Persian oboist, educator, and performer pursuing her Doctor of Musical Arts at the University of Alabama. Fahime has performed with orchestras and ensembles in Iran and the US. Her performances include solo recitals, chamber recitals, and collaborative concerts. Fahime is currently anticipating the 2026 release of the documentary film Threads of Gold, which features her perspective on reed-making, performance philosophy, and live oboe performance. Her research interests include extended techniques for oboe and cross-cultural approaches to oboe pedagogy. In the next year, Fahime is excited about plans to form a classical fusion band, commissioning new works for the oboe, and giving live performances.
