Margaret Dultz
Margaret Dultz has been playing the oboe for eleven years and recently graduated from Lindenwood University, where she received a Bachelor of Music degree in Oboe Performance and minored in Creative Writing. At Lindenwood, she was a part of the Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, Woodwind Ensemble, Jazz Band, Pep Band, and Marching Band. She has served as personnel manager for the orchestra, woodwind section leader for the marching band, the music theory tutor and music librarian, and the drum major for the 2024 Lion Pride Marching Band. Outside of Lindenwood, she has been a member of the Saint Charles Community College Orchestra and the Saint Charles County Symphony Orchestra, where she had the opportunity to perform the Cimarosa Oboe Concerto as the featured soloist. Dultz has served as the Saint Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra Librarian for the past three years and is now working part-time in the music library alongside the rest of the library team. She was recently fortunate enough to spend her summer at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan as an Ensemble Library Intern.
Dultz has worked with many renowned oboists, including Phil Ross, James Sullivan, Russ DeLuna, Xiomara Mass, Season Summers, and Jelena Dirks, who she currently studies with privately. She has performed with the Saint Louis Wind Symphony and the Saint Louis Wind Symphony Youth Ensemble and is a freelance oboist in the Saint Charles area. She was awarded the Lucette Stumberg Flanagan Award in Fine and Performing Arts as a graduating senior from Lindenwood and was fortunate enough to spend a few weeks abroad earlier this year studying music in Taipei, Taiwan.
Outside of pursuing her oboe career, Dultz plays the saxophone, flute, and piccolo, and is an avid tap dancer and is a performing company member of the only professional tap company in Saint Louis, moSTLy Tap, a part of STL Rhythm Collaborative. Dultz plans to pursue a Master of Music degree in Oboe Performance beginning in the fall of 2026.
