CT's Own: Music for Oboe and Piano

An oboist trained at Dartmouth and Yale School of Medicine, and a pianist who debuted with the Seoul Symphony at eleven. Same room, one hour, no charge.

Wilton Library's Connecticut's Own series welcomes back Ralph Kirmser on oboe and Kyong Hee Cho on piano, with selections from Ludwig van Beethoven, Camille Saint-Saens, Madeleine Dring and Bela Bartok.

Kirmser has been oboist for the Madera Wind Quintet, the Prevailing Winds of Connecticut and New York City's Morningside Wind Quintet, and played with Orvieto Musica in Italy in 2000. He is a regular participant at the Chamber Music Conference of the East and has served on its board of trustees, and he was principal oboist for the Vermont Symphony while in college. A graduate of Dartmouth College and Yale School of Medicine, he has lived in Wilton with his wife, Sally, and their three children for more than forty years.

Cho began her piano career in Korea at the age of four and gave her first concert performance with the Seoul Symphony at eleven. She attended the Manhattan School of Music as a merit scholar, earning a BA and an MA in piano performance, and has given numerous solo concerts benefiting international medical and disaster relief. She teaches at her studio in Wilton and leads her students in planning and performing benefit concerts of their own.
