Oboe doesn't have quite the variety of soloists as other instruments but it certainly has some greats. Below is a short list of some great places to start. Remember that nothing beats live music, so go to see the local symphony orchestra and to college wind ensemble concerts close to you.

Suggested professionals
John Mack, Nancy Ambrose-King, Wayne Rapier, Carlo Romano, Robert Sorton, Garvin Bushell (jazz oboe) and Humbert Lucarelli.

Suggested musical pieces with great oboe parts
Scenes from the Louvre, Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral, The Holst Suites, Folk Song Suite by Williams, Fandango by Perkins, Concerto for Oboe and Strings by Williams, Beguine for Band by Osser
