Kyle Bruckmann Artist's Website >> Oboist Kyle Bruckmann’s creative work spans a dizzying aesthetic range, from a traditional European classical foundation into genre-bending gray areas encompassing free jazz, electronic music and post-punk rock. International touring and appearances on more than 30 recordings have led to his recognition as “a modern day renaissance musician" (Dusted Magazine) and “a seasoned improviser with impressive extended technique and peculiar artistic flair.” (All-Music Guide). Since moving to the Bay Area in 2003, he has joined forces with the Stockton Symphony, Quinteto Latino, and the new music collective sfSound. His orchestral work has also included performances with the San Francisco Symphony, Symphony Silicon Valley, Pocket Opera, Oakland Opera Theater, and the Berkeley, Monterey County, Santa Rosa, Modesto, Napa Valley, California, Santa Cruz County, and San Jose Chamber Orchestras. Bruckmann earned undergraduate degrees in music and psychology at Rice University in Houston, studying oboe with Robert Atherholt and achieving academic distinction as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He completed his Masters degree in 1996 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he studied oboe performance with Harry Sargous and contemporary improvisation with Ed Sarath. He has attended the Bowdoin Summer Music Festival in Maine, the Chautauqua Institution in upstate New York, and the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara.
