2025 International Double Reed Society Conference
The 2025 International Double Reed Society Conference is five days of performances, classes, lectures, and workshops presented by leading double reed artists and pedagogues from around the world! Co-hosts Pam Ajango (Oboe) and Doug Spaniol (Bassoon) will host the the 54th annual conference on the campus of Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana – a city known around the world for auto racing, and acclaimed as one of America’s top cities for hosting major events. Indy is easy to reach by air or car and boasts a flourishing culinary and brewing scene, thriving cultural institutions, the esteemed Indianapolis Symphony and Chamber Orchestras, cool and unique neighborhoods, and its legendary “Hoosier Hospitality.” Butler University is consistently ranked as the #1 regional university in the Midwest by US News & World Report, and its Jordan College of the Arts is particularly renowned. Butler’s picturesque campus, in a residential neighborhood a few miles north of the city center, offers world-class facilities, all within close proximity to one another.
