This week, Ariana (virtually) sits down with her friend Mayu Isom. Mayu plays oboe in the Houston Grand Opera and Ballet Orchestras. Finally, a non-string player! She loves to cook and bake - when she's not making reeds of course. We'll hear about her adorable cat Gnocchi, her new herb garden, recent baking projects, and what she's been listening to these days. If you're lucky, you might even get to hear the dulcet tones of an English Horn...

Here's where you can find Mayu @lanamayu_ and her cat Gnocchi @gnocchi_the_tortie on Instagram. Check out her website mayuisom.wixsite.com/oboe
