WCLV, Cleveland’s classical music radio station—found on your FM dial at 104.9 and on the web at www.wclv.com—will broadcast Oberlin’s Faculty Chamber Series concert featuring Professor of Oboe Alex Klein and other great musicians from the Conservatory’s faculty.

The concert, which was recorded live in Warner Concert Hall on September 15, 2007, will be heard on Friday, October 26, at 8 p.m.

The program is a veritable celebration of the oboe, and showcases Klein’s remarkable talents on four variations of the instrument. He is joined by Associate Professor of Harpsichord Webb Wiggins and guest artist Catalina Guevara Klein, on Giuseppe Sammartini's Sonata in G Major, Op. 13, No. 4 for Baroque Oboe and Continuo. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Quartet for Classical Oboe and Strings follows, with Klein on oboe; Professor of Violin Marilyn McDonald on violin, Professor of Viola Peter Slowik on viola, and Steuart Pincombe ‘09 on cello. Guest artist Rita Costanzi played the harp to Klein’s English horn for Antonino Pasculli's Homage à Bellini for English Horn and Harp. The radio broadcast will conclude with Robert Schumann's Fantasy Pieces, Op. 73, for Clarinet (oboe d'amore) and Piano, featuring Klein on oboe d'amore with pianist Peter Takács, Professor of Piano.
