THE OBOE AND ITS LABYRINTHS is one of the most important academic and artistic projects that have been produced in Venezuela in recent years. It is an initiative of young Venezuelan oboists who, having begun their studies of the instrument in our country and then developed their musical career in other parts of the world, have felt the need to group together in order to give continuity to the heritage of those who with great sacrifice and dedication previously taught the instrument to the current generations and spread the scope of the repertoire, as well as its potential in Venezuela.

Through this project, homage is paid to Teachers and Masters who, during the last decades, have laid with dignity the foundations of a Venezuelan Oboe School that today assumes important scenarios in the world. This recognition of the legacy of our Teachers, coupled with the experience acquired by the current teaching team, serves as a generating seed with the objective of rescuing and creating spaces for the exchange and debate of ideas; the assumption of new responsibilities; the development of teamwork; and the commitment to the instrument, its learning and the artistic possibilities it offers. What it is about, is to build values ​​through an emancipator pedagogical process and to configure an alternative music scene that offers young people who participate in the project, tools and perspectives that allow them to assume a critical/self-critical practice and expand their musical and artistic interests in free and spontaneous form.

The OBOE AND ITS LABYRINTHS is the constant development of solutions to questions that arise in the perennial path of learning, of knowledge. Each question is the means that travel the paths of the labyrinths of the Oboe and each solution is the impulse of a new beginning. For us, the labyrinths of the Oboe are that complex world as a synthesis of multiple determinations, a world that is constituted from the unity of the diverse and that finds the resolution of its contradictions in heterodox exits that have become endless practices and possibilities.

THE OBOE AND ITS LABYRINTHS stands today in current Venezuela as a kind of Oasis of Dignity, which offers to the present generations, selflessly and detached, the idea to ​​continue dreaming and fighting for a new dawn full of hope and solidarity. The idea-force that from music reality can be transformed, is a motivation sin ne qua non of this beautiful project, which despite the harsh adversities and tangible difficulties, it rises and persists with the desire to break the chains of resignation and lethargy.

THE OBOE AND ITS LABYRINTHS is a hurricane of disciplined effort that, with sincere love and fibrous commitment, reaches out to hundreds of young Venezuelans to use the art of sound as a means to dream and emancipate.
