New oboe is a low blow, say locals

You may recall that the San Antonio Symphony was liquidated by its board, only to be revived by the musicians as the San Antonio Philharmonic.

Sad to say. they are not a happy crew.

Music director Jeffrey Kahane has told them he is importing a New York principal oboe, Belinda Rosen, without audition, for the whoke season. The locals are simmering.

Rosen, principal oboe at Brooklyn Chamber Orchestra, teaches at the 92nd St Y. She will commute to Texas.
