elizabeth hoover, oboe

Elizabeth Hoover received a Bachelor of Arts in Music at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in 2006, where she studied with Andrea Ridilla. Elizabeth has played the oboe for eleven years, performing in many orchestras, chamber groups, and the group she holds most dear to her heart, the wind ensemble. Currently she plays the oboe in the University of Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

Elizabeth is pursuing a PhD in musicology at the University of Pittsburgh. As both a musician and an artis, her interests in musicology unite two loves: music and visual arts. She is interested in iconography of music, and the relationship between music and the visual arts in the twentieth century.
