Musician Spotlight – Isabelle Currie
Isabella Currie is the principal oboist of the KC Civic Orchestra. Even though this is only her second season, she loves getting to make music with her friends and a group of amazing musicians!
Isabella grew up in Alpine, Wyoming. She has always loved music. In addition to band and orchestra, she also spent time playing mandolin in a bluegrass band! It wasn’t until her junior year that she settled on playing the oboe.
