Joboe Recites
By: Mandy Loerch
“Last Sunday, oboist Joe Diliberti showcased his virtuosity in his Junior Performance Recital at 3 p.m. in Mason’s Grand Tier. Assisted by percussionist Matt Levine, piano accompanist Roy Hakes, and his supportive oboe sisters, the double-reed selections were more than double the fun!”
“Joe Diliberti is a student of Lorrie Berkshire Brown, and regularly performs as an oboist and English hornist with the Mason Symphony Orchestra, Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band. Joe has worked under several renowned conductors, such as National Symphony director Leonard Slatkin, and has performed in several world class concert halls, including the Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall, where he was invited to perform with the Washington Youth Foundation Orchestra last summer. He maintains a small private studio of oboe students and coaches at several area high schools, as well as previously being an oboe mentor and counselor at Colgate University for the Eastern U.S. Music Camp in New York. Joe has been fortunate to attend master classes and receive coaching from Joseph Robinson, former principal oboist of the New York Philharmonic and the Boston Symphony's John Ferillo.” Full Post
