Miami professors featured on new recording
Miami University music professor Andrea Ridilla is featured soloist on “L’Amore Italiano … the lyrical oboe in opera and cinema,” recently released on the Helicon Records label, New York.
Ridilla performs on oboe and oboe d’amore with the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra, Ricardo Averbach conducting. Averbach is Miami associate professor of music and frequently appears with the Sofia Philharmonic. The recording was made in May 2008 in the Bulgaria Concert Hall.
Selections on the recording include two compositions by G. Roger Davis, Miami associate professor of music: “Rhapsody on Gabriel’s Oboe” and “Il Sogno di Doretta” from Puccini’s “La Rondine.” Averbach arranged another selection, “Sally and Jack” from the film “Blowout.”
Ridilla joined Miami’s faculty in 1987. She frequently appears as a soloist with orchestras, as a chamber musician and conducts master classes in the United States and abroad. She has been recognized for her teaching with an Excellence in Teaching Award by the Greater Cincinnati Consortium of Colleges and Universities, among other honors.
