Opus 13

As oboist David Norville enters his final year as a student at the New England Conservatory, there’s one thing he knows for sure – he doesn’t want to become a professional oboist. In this opus, he speaks to Garrett about why he wants to occupy a different sort of stage and the systemic issues that led him to this discovery. The two also chat about a few of their musical and nonmusical heroes, including a mentor they have in common. In the prelude, Garrett and Scott apply the remake of Disney’s “The Lion King” to their personal lives and how some of those stories apply to their family and social relationships.
