ABOUT MIKAELA OBERG
Born into a musical family in Sydney, Mikaela began her studies on the recorder and flute at an early age. She completed a double degree in performance and music education at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in 2007 where she also began her studies on the Baroque flute with Melissa Farrow.

During this time, she performed in The Netherlands and further abroad including with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century under the leadership of Frans Bruggen.
