“…Maier’s haunting harmonics and melodies on oboe, clarinet and English horn had me wound round his little finger from the outset.”

~Vernon Morning Star – Christine Pilgrim

“…Colin Maier is a multi-talented musician who plays oboe with a gorgeous tone and superimposes his sense of seriousness and humour into all he performs. You would be misguided not to listen to this release.”

~The WholeNote – Tiina Kiik

“…Colin Maier is a true entrepreneurial performer”

~Nassau Guardian – Anita MacDonald

Canada’s Colin Maier is a theatrical performance oboist who sees his oboe and music as part of a larger performance. He currently plays with the Canadian group “Quartetto Gelato” which tours the globe with its theatrical take on the classical genre. For more info on Quartetto Gelato click here.

Backed by a brilliantly versatile rhythm section, Colin’s solo project entitled ”Colin Maier and the Misguided Band” features fun, theatrical and original music. Completely unlike anything heard on the oboe before. For more info on The Misguided Band click here.
