Biography
Victoria Sabonjohn has dedicated her life to the performance and teaching of music for over 10 years. Her two passions are performing oboe in an orchestral setting and teaching both privately and in the classroom. Mrs. Sabonjohn graduated Summa Cum Laude from Stetson University with a Bachelor's degree in Music Education, studying oboe with Dr. Ann Adams. She immediately pursued a Masters Degree in Oboe Performance from the New England Conservatory of Music, under the instruction of Laura Ahlbeck. Upon her completion of graduate studies, Mrs. Sabonjohn relocated to Los Angeles, CA with her husband. As a professional oboist, Mrs. Sabonjohn performs actively in the community, playing with several local orchestras and chamber groups. In addition to an active private studio, she also teaches elementary school instrumental music with Children’s Music Workshop. |
