François-René Gebauer (1773–1845) was a Parisian bassoonist and composer. His inventive and virtuosic chamber music explores the uniquely colorful soundscapes possible on Classical-era wind instruments. This program showcases unusual and sonorous instrument combinations, including a duo for natural horn and bassoon and a trio for three bassoons. Hurricanic power, gentle as a flower; hear historic winds have fun in the Gebauer Hour.

Aaron Goler is a seasoned performer on historical bassoons of all sorts. A graduate of The Juilliard School, Aaron has played with orchestras across North America and Europe including Boston Baroque, Les Arts Florissants, and Concerto Köln. He loves organizing chamber music, and is excited to present this program alongside some of the best historical wind players in New York.
