Jorge Sarmientos was a prolific composer who studied with some of the greatest names of his time, known for his innovative style and contributions to Latin American repertoire. He wrote this concerto in 1961, and since then, only two oboists have performed it, with this year marking the 30th anniversary of its last performance. Luis De León made aimed to create piano reduction, as there was no existing piano part, and is excited to use this opportunity to introduce the new publication of the concerto for oboe and its piano version.
