Second Oboe-English Horn OKCPHIL Musician

“Music has been in my soul from the beginning,” says Rachel Maczko, Second Oboe/English Horn. “I started taking piano lessons at a young age. I have faint memories of not being able to read music and how infuriating that was.”

Despite her love of the piano, Rachel says her keyboard skill are “mediocre at best.” When she started oboe lessons, she saw that not only did she enjoy music, she excelled at it.

The field is extremely competitive, Rachel says, and she was incredibly grateful when she was hired by OKCPHIL.

“The colleagues with whom I was up against in the audition are themselves tremendously talented,” she said. “Amongst the finalists, any one of us could have done this job well. I don’t take for granted that I have the privilege to play for this audience every concert, and the fortune to have a successful musical career.”

Director of Development OKCPHIL Staff

I have worked in nonprofit fundraising since 2015. I’ve been in the position of Development Director for the Oklahoma City Philharmonic since September of this year. I love working in support of an arts organization whose mission is to bring joy and inspiration to our community. I’m also thrilled to be working in the heart of downtown OKC.

Outside of work, I enjoy visiting museums and festivals, wandering in cities with my husband, growing and arranging flowers and keeping up with my two old English sheepdogs, Iris & Poppy.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Health Studies and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Oklahoma. My personal life mission is to make life more beautiful for others.
