Internationally acclaimed as a 70+ time soloist with the New York

for Oboe d´amore by J.S. Bach, George Bizet's Carmen Fantasy arr. by Robert Elkjer, and collaborations with SUU´s
pianist Dr. Willem van Schalkwyk and
percussionist Dr. Lynn Vartan.
Thomas Stacy left the New York
Philharmonic after an incredible 39 seasons that included performances in
America, Asia and at numerous European music festivals including the London
Proms. Millions have viewed his television appearances on Live from Lincoln Center, CBS This Morning, CBS Sunday Morning and
the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on Music and
the Spoken Word. He has also been featured on NPR's All Things Considered.
An Arkansas native, Mr. Stacy graduated
from the Eastman School of Music, with distinction, where he studied with
