Occupation: Musician

ASPIRING pianist Sylvia Shneck, of Middleton Road, Crumpsall, Manchester, was not pleased when told at music college that she would have to learn a second instrument.

She decided the oboe was reasonably easy-and within a few weeks realised that it was a "natural" for her. She took a piano diploma but scored even higher marks in the oboe, was appointed oboeist in Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, played in BBC concerts, took lessons with Lady Barbirolli, and transferred to the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

To-day, following a hectic week of recording with the orchestra and Huddersfield Choral Society in a new version of the "Messiah." her engagement is announced to Dr. Justin Endbinder, who is in practice in Liverpool, music-lover but not a musician. It was for Miss Shneck that Salford conductor and composer Mr. Joe Needham composed his oboe concerto. (Manchester Evening News, Saturday, June 20, 1959)
