Hailed by the New York Times for her "magnificently sweet tone", Keve Wilson has captivated audiences with her imaginative programming and electric personality. Her 2011 CD Pure Imagination was released on CCR/Naxos and resulted in a two year contract with Baird Artists Management. A past winner of Concert Artists Guild with her quintet, Meliora Winds, Keve is solo oboist with Kristjan Jarvi's Absolute Ensemble and can be heard on the group's numerous albums, including the Grammy nominated Absolute Mix. With the Absolute Ensemble, she has traveled to Dubai, Estonia, Latvia, Germany, Austria, New Zealand, Greece, London, Finland, and Amsterdam at the world class Concertgebouw. Just recently, the group returned from sold out audiences in Paderborne, Germany and Paris, France. The upcoming season of 2013 sees the Absolute Ensemble returning to Germany to perform in Leipzig with Simone Dinnerstein to release their latest album, Bach Re-Invented. The group also performs in South Korea with Carel Kraayenhof's Tango Project. Keve recently returned from Los Angeles, where she had a performance of Benjamin Britten's solo oboe piece, Six Metamorphoses after Ovid with the Jacaranda Chamber Music series and has recently been invited to be oboist with the eclectic quintet, Madera Vox. A winner of the Clifford-Levy Creativity Grant, Keve spent ten days in the Makuleke Village in South Africa in June where she participated in learning and teaching folk songs of the region.
