Oasis Ensemble is a group of award-winning, seasoned musicians who have received high critical acclaim for their live performances and recordings. We perform primarily as a flute, cello and piano trio with Dawn Weiss, who was the principal flutist of the Oregon Symphony for 25 years prior to founding the Oasis Ensemble, Louis Lowenstein, long-time member of both the Chicago and Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestras, and Andrew Cannestra, award-winning pianist and solo recording artist on the Naxos label who is currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Oregon.
