About Of Whispers and Dances:

‘Of Whispers and Dances’ was the first recital Jamiia hosted, with the help and guidance of EMU Oboe Professor Kristen Reynolds. This recital was a pivotal part of Jamiia’s musical career, giving her inspiration to connect with music and other musicians. In programming ‘Of Whispers and Dances,’ Jamiia sought to feature a wide range of musical genres, cultures, and instrumentations. The featured works in ‘Of Whispers and Dances’ allowed Jamiia to explore the oboe in a more intimate way than before and re-ignited her passion for performing.

About Enchantment in Sound:

Feeling inspired by several contemporary works for the oboe, especially Grazyna Bacewicz’s Oboe Sonata, Jamiia felt compelled to perform again! ‘Enchantment In Sound’ is Jamiia’s second public recital performance and a part of her larger exploration as a musician. Jamiia Franklin was able to showcase the oboe’s unique tone in several genres and eras of music due to talents and efforts of many composers and collaborating musicians.
