Description
There are not so many jazz oboists but Maripepa Contreras is one of the few. The oboe is a wind instrument characterised by its warm and penetrating sound. Well, wait until you hear the conjuring improvisations of Maripepa Contreras! She is definitely something else in the best possible way: Spanish roots, classically trained, with a jazz education and with a passion for Brazilian music. She presents this award-winning project (Downbeat magazine) based in Amsterdam with original compositions.
This project is supported by the Performing Arts Fund NL.
