Strobe Quartet - Works for Oboe & Strings
The oboe: soulful and evocative; a lyrical instrument with eloquent nuance, adding a singularly expressive voice in concert with other instruments. Perhaps the most difficult instrument in the orchestra to play.
Strobe is expanding the repertoire for quartet with oboe by commissioning works for the ensemble. This performance will include the San Francisco debut of a piece specially written for them, in addition to classical works by Mozart, Strauss, and Britten.
Strobe was born in a carpool, conceived by a love for the oboe. During commutes from San Francisco to Berkeley to play Swan Lake, Laura and Kris began talking about oboesLaura plays it and Kris loves it because the oboe was her fathers instrument. They discussed favorite oboe repertoire and chamber music, along with concert ideas. Stephanie and Caroline signed on, and Strobe was created.
