Who is Melvin Kaplan?
Melvin Kaplan is a renowned American oboist, concert manager, and formerly a teacher at the Juilliard School for 25 years. He was for many years a featured performer and lecturer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His Burlington, Vermont-based booking agency represents such distinguished musicians as pianists Menahem Pressler and Jean-Francois Latour, violinist Hamao Fujiwara, as well as various ensembles including the Amelia Piano Trio, the Pacifica Quartet, the Paris Piano Trio, and the Grammy Award-winning Ying Quartet.
