Laura Doser is a second-year graduate student at the University of
California at Davis pursuing a Ph.D in Musicology and Criticism. She had
previously been employed in arts management with symphony orchestras
and other non-profit organizations including the Colorado Springs
Symphony, Dubuque Symphony, Elisabeth Galley and Associates and the
Lawton Symphony Orchestra. Doser has a Bachelor of Music in Performance (Oboe) and Master of Arts from the University of Wyoming (UW) and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Recently, she received a UW Arts & Sciences Summer Independent Study Award to study of the instruments of the Maori of New Zealand and published a booklet on Maori flutes for the World Flute Project. She also presented original research "Jennifer Hidgon: Composer of the 21st Century" at the College Music Society, Rocky Mountain Chapter Conference. The paper is based on a personal interview with Higdon. She re-learned oboe playing from Lindsey Bird and Julia Combs after several years of hiding her oboe in a closet and eventually was able to solo with the UW Wind Ensemble in 2006. After taking four months off, she is once again trying to reinvent her sound! In her "spare" time Doser likes to perform, explore and travel, try new recipes, teach swim lessons for Swim America and play with her niece. |
