On this #FeatureFriday, we’re celebrating one of the most demanding instruments in the orchestra: the oboe.

👏 Its reed isn’t just small, it’s actually two reeds that vibrate together. That’s why it’s called a double reed. Oboist Jordan Pennington makes the tricky instrument look easy. You’ll find him performing with the Alpharetta Symphony and our Alpharetta Symphony Woodwind Quintet. Keep an eye (and ear) out for his talent! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #InnovationAcademy #jacksonhealthcare #northpointmall #northpoint #alpharettasymphony #alpharettamusiccity #alpharettaamplified #alpharettaga #artsalpharetta #alpharettaevents #symphony #orchestra #classicalmusic #supportthearts #artsatlanta
