About
Biography
Oboist Alexis Porcaro has been praised for the warmth of her sound and the intelligence of her phrasing. Equally at home as soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral principal, she brings a vocal, deeply communicative sensibility to repertoire spanning the Baroque to the present day.
A dedicated advocate for new music, she has premiered works written expressly for her and regularly collaborates with living composers. Her recital programs are known for their thoughtful pairings of familiar masterworks with rarely heard gems.
She has appeared with regional orchestras and festivals across the country, and her playing has been featured on broadcast and in live streamed performances. Recent seasons include concerto appearances, chamber residencies, and a growing body of commissioned solo work.
Beyond the stage, Alexis is a sought-after teacher whose students have gone on to leading conservatories and professional ensembles. She maintains a private studio for advanced and pre-professional oboists.
