Oboist Galit Kaunitz is the Assistant Professor of Oboe at Colorado State University. She is an active orchestral musician, performs solo and chamber music recitals, and co-created the Double Reed Dish podcast. Galit explores themes of culture, and identity through her solo and chamber music recitals. She is dedicated to expanding the canon to include works by underrepresented and displaced composers, and enthusiastically collaborates with composers to commission new works. She can be heard on the album All Are Welcome, which features new commissions for oboe and bassoon by Connor Chee, Brin Solomon, Mason Bynes, and Kate Pukinskis. Galit is also uncovering the legacy of composer Elizabeth Gyring through performing and recording her works.
Galit is grateful to have studied under Eric Ohlsson, Rebecca Henderson, Humbert Lucarelli, and Marilyn Krentzman. Galit is a Marigaux artist and plays on a Marigaux 901/901p.
