Theresa Delaplain performed a recital called "Language of Love," featuring the oboe d'amore, collaborating with U of A music department colleagues Uribe, Er-Gene Kahng and Robert Mueller. The recital also included a new work, "Her Voice," composed by Mueller. 

The International Double Reed Society hosts an international conference every year, which include performances, master classes, lectures, and displays of technological and artistic innovation.
