Shell Point Retirement Community continues its 2013-2014 Concerts & Conversations Series with Bassoonist Shelley Monroe Huang on Thursday, Jan. 30 at 7 p.m.
Praised by the New York Times for “playing with superb agility and accuracy and with a full-bodied, chocolaty sound,” bassoonist Huang performs regularly as a soloist and chamber musician across the United States. She earned degrees from Eastman and Yale schools of music and is finishing her doctorate at SUNY Stony Brook. As a concert bassoonist and contra-bassoonist, she has performed with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and the Charlotte, Albany, New Haven, and Delaware symphony orchestras and has also performed as soloist with the Eastman Philharmonia, New Music New Haven, and the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra. An avid contemporary musician, Huang has been awarded fellowships at music festivals such as Tanglewood and Aspen.
