 Artist-Faculty
Richard Kanter, Oboe
|
Richard Kanter began his oboe-playing career at the age of 14, in 1949, as a student of
Robert Mayer, English horn player of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. After four years, Mr. Kanter was admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music, where he studied with Marcel
Tabuteau and John de Lancie. Upon graduating from Curtis, Mr. Kanter joined the U.S. Navy
Band for four years. During those years he traveled to every state in the continental
United States.
After leaving the Navy Band in 1961, Mr. Kanter was appointed second oboe
of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. During his years with the CSO, he performed under Fritz
Reiner, Jean Martinon, Sir George Solti, and Daneil Barenboim, as well as hundreds of
guest conductors. Chicago Symphony tours took Mr. Kanter to many parts of the world,
including Europe, Britian, the Soviet Union, Australia, Brazil, Argentina, Japan, and Hong
Kong. He recently retired from the CSO after a career of 41 years.
This is his third summer with AYO. |
