How we got our name
As an alumna of the Fulbright Austria program, Dr. Held is passionate about Austro-Germanic culture, which comes with a love for the German language.
"Held" translates to hero in German, and carries rich musical implications. In the operatic world, a "Heldentenor" is a specific voice type called for in Wagner operas, translating back to colloquial English as heroic tenor.
HeldenReeds are named as such, because playing the oboe requires the confidence, bravery, and boldness of a hero.
