Please join UNLV School of Music Double Reed faculty Richard Kravchak, Ph.D., and Liz Valvano, D.M.A, as we present our first double reed day!

This free event is open to all double reed, oboe and bassoon, musicians and music educators in Las Vegas.

We will have a double reed ensemble for all musicians to perform, as well as vendors exhibiting double reed items for purchase, recitals featuring current and UNLV alumni, and masterclasses with guest artists including oboist Andrea Ridilla from Miami University. We hope to see you here!
