Pale Peony

            This photograph is dedicated to the memory of Principal oboist William Bennett of the San Francisco Symphony.  Bill passed away yesterday after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage during his performance of the Strauss Oboe Concerto with the San Francisco Symphony at Davies Symphony Hall last Saturday.   Bill also taught at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. 

It has been said by many, including Danny Kaye in "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" that the oboe is an "Ill wind that nobody blows good", but Bill proved that saying wrong every time he performed -- his solo and ensemble playing earned ovations from  audiences around the world. His death is a huge loss to the world of classical music.

Thanks for stopping by and for all of your support.
