Elizabeth Koch Tiscione joined the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra as principal oboist in 2007-2008 season. During those years, the orchestra made 18 commercial recordings — mainly with music director laureate Robert Spano, in addition to those with then-guest conductor Sir Donald Runnicles, and most recently a new release with music director Nathalie Stutzmann conducting.
Tiscione recently joined Lois Reitzes on “City Lights” as part of our series celebrating 50 years of ASO broadcasts on WABE.
Reflecting on highlights, Tiscione recalls Robert Spano’s final concert as music director in 2022, featuring Mahler’s “Third Symphony.”
“It was magical and beautiful,” she said. “We were playing for him with so much love on stage, I’ll never forget that feeling.”
Another standout for her was a performance of “Rosenkavalier Suite” under the direction of Nathalie Stutzmann.
