In demand as a performer on historical oboes, Ms. Owens appears regularly with many of North America's Baroque orchestras, including American Bach Soloists, Opera Lafayette, Tafelmusik, Washington Bach Consort, Mercury Baroque, Tempesta di Mare, and the National Cathedral Baroque Orchestra. Recent concerts include solo appearances with REBEL, Four Nations, Chatham Baroque, and the Berkshire Bach Society. She has recorded for the Naxos, Koch International Classics, and Eclectra labels. Her scholarly pursuits center on the oboe band tradition at the courts and chateaux of Louis XIV, leading to recreations of, and lectures about, the music of the Philidor family of wind players. At the other end of the performance practice spectrum, Ms. Owens's love of modem music has led to collaborations with many composers in conjunction with premieres; an extension of this is her work with the contemporary music ensemble at George Mason University, fostering relationships between student and faculty composers and performers. Hailing from Wilmington, North Carolina, Ms. Owens is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and the Manhattan School of Music, and earned the Doctor of Musical Arts degree at the City University of New York. Her major teachers include Ronald Roseman, Joseph Robinson, and James Prodan. She teaches at George Mason University and Episcopal High School.
