Bert Lucarelli (1936-2023) was one of America’s foremost musicians. He began his career with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, but soon wanted more from his music making. He moved to New York to study with Robert Bloom and seek out a new way to make music. This search led him to becoming “America’s oboe soloist.” He would go on to have numerous works written for him, touring the world performing, and most importantly teaching hundreds of students for nearly sixty years. His legacy is felt far and wide throughout the world and his influence will continue to reach the coming generations.
