Wickes joined the Santa Barbara Symphony in the fall of 2006. During her time with the orchestra, she has played Mozart’s “Sinfonia Concertante for Winds” with the same colleagues she will be working with on Oct. 16.
During next year’s Mozart Marathon Weekend, Jan. 19-20, Wickes will be a featured soloist in “Mozart’s Oboe Concerto.”
For Foster, this season marks his 27th year with the Santa Barbara Symphony.
“The most memorable [SBSO] concert was when I performed the ‘Copland Concerto’ with the symphony,” Foster said. “It was a deeply personal moment for me because my mother was in the audience and that concert was the last time she would hear me play before passing away. It was very emotional.”
Teag joined the Santa Barbara Symphony in 2010. He has been featured as a SBSO soloist on various occasions; also with his woodwind colleagues Wickes and Foster.
Teag said he especially enjoys performing Mahler symphonies with the Santa Barbara Symphony.
