    An Annotated Bibliography of Canadian Oboe Concertos Document Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Oboe in the Performance Studies Division of the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music January 11, 2016 by Elizabeth E. Eccleston M02515809 B.M., Wilfrid Laurier University, 2004 M.M., University of Cincinnati, 2007 D.M.A. Candidacy: April 5, 2012 256 Major Street Toronto, Ontario M5S 2L6 Canada [email protected] ____________________________ Dr. Mark Ostoich, Advisor ____________________________ Dr. Glenn Price, Reader ____________________________ Professor Lee Fiser, Reader Copyright by Elizabeth E. Eccleston 2016 i Abstract: Post-World War II in Canada was a time during which major organizations were born to foster the need for a sense of Canadian cultural identity. The Canada Council for the Arts, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the Canadian Music Centre led the initiative for commissioning, producing, and disseminating this Canadian musical legacy. Yet despite the wealth of repertoire created since then, the contemporary music of Canada is largely unknown both within and outside its borders. This annotated bibliography serves as a concise summary and evaluative resource into the breadth of concertos and solo works written for oboe, oboe d’amore, and English horn, accompanied by an ensemble. The document examines selected pieces of significance from the mid-twentieth century to present day. Entries discuss style and difficulty using the modified rating system developed by oboist Dr. Sarah J. Hamilton. In addition, details of duration, instrumentation, premiere/performance history, including dedications, commissions, program notes, reviews, publisher information and recordings are included wherever possible.

  • MOZART with Jean-Philippe Sylvestre Webcast Concert on April 27, 7:00 P.M
    ALL MOZART with Jean-Philippe Sylvestre Webcast concert on April 27, 7:00 p.m. Montreal, April 9, 2021 – The Orchestre classique de Montréal and conductor Boris Brott are thrilled to welcome, for the first time, renowned Quebec pianist Jean-Philippe Sylvestre as a guest soloist. He will perform Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23 at the Pierre-Mercure Hall which will be broadcast on April 27th at 7:30pm and will be available online for 2 weeks, until May 11th. The program will also feature Mozart’s Divertimento in D major, K. 136, conducted by Xavier Brossard-Ménard, and the Symphony Concertante in G major, op. 13, by the Guadeloupean- French composer Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, a contemporary of Mozart. “We were hoping to welcome a live audience in the hall for this concert, however, due to the retightening of the curfew and the uncertainty due to the variants, we have decided it is safer to delay welcoming our audiences until later in the season.” says Taras Kulish, Executive Director of the OCM. Originally from Sainte-Julie, Jean-Philippe Sylvestre received the prestigious Virginia Parker Prize, the Canada Council for the Arts’ highest award, in 2008. First-prize winner at the Montreal Symphony Orchestra Competition, Mr. Sylvestre has released several critically acclaimed albums under the ATMA Classique label, including two with the Orchestre Métropolitain. This concert will be presented in collaboration with the Austrian Honorary Consulate General in Montreal and the Austrian Society of Montreal.
