Oboe Recital

Oboist Rebecca Van de Ven can be heard on our most recent CD (Enesco Rumanian Rhapsody No. 1) and more recently has appeared with the San Francisco Symphony. She will present her graduate recital on Tuesday evening, May 21, at 8 P.M. at Hellman Hall in the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. The address is 1201 Ortega Street (off Van Ness), in San Francisco.

SOMA Duo

Julia R. Greer, who played piano and synthesizer in our last two concerts, sends us the following SOMA Duo recital advertisement:

"San Francisco, St. James Church, 4620 California Street between 8th and 9th Avenues: There will be a Big SOMA Duo Recital on June 29th at 6 P.M. We will be playing a rather monstrous (yet fun!) program containing Beethoven's Spring sonata, Brahms' G-major sonata, and Stravinsky's Suite Italliane. The concert is free, and all the donations will go towards paying for the hall and charity."

The SOMA Duo is comprised of former MIT engineering classmates Julia R. Greer (piano) and Grant Ho (violin). Julia Greer studied at the Moscow Conservatory of Music until she was 16. She moved to the United States with her family in 1992, where she won the Scholtz Rochester Piano Prize and a full scholarship to the Eastman School of Music. During her under graduate years at MIT, she won the Advanced Music Performance scholarship, and she has remained an active pianist while in graduate school at Stanford. Julia is currently studying at the Adult Division of San Francisco Conservatory. Grant Ho was a winner of MIT's Advanced Music Performance Scholarship, MIT's Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition, and the Louis Sudler Prize in the Arts.
