Juri Vallentin is a German oboist making waves in the classical music world with a fresh, genre-bending approach. While grounded in a deep understanding of the traditional repertoire, as evidenced by releases like Platti's Oboe Concerto and De la Guerre's Sonata, Vallentin isn't afraid to explore new sonic landscapes. He's known for creative arrangements, breathing new life into popular songs like Sam Smith's "Unholy" and Billie Eilish's "Everything I Wanted," while also showcasing original compositions like "RUSH," "Ebenbild," and "Bridges."

This willingness to experiment and push boundaries, combined with his obvious technical prowess, has earned him a growing following and positions him as a unique voice in the contemporary classical scene.
