“This will be the first year I’m not able to play with them,” explains the 81-year-old Christ, himself a professional oboist who has played in orchestras and chambers throughout the country since the early 1960s and studied for six years with Bert Gassman, former principal oboist for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. “So, yes, it’s bittersweet.”
