Bassoon Ensembles

We have an extensive library of duos, trios, quartets, quintets and large bassoon ensemble with new music being written for us every year. If there is something in particular you would like to work on, feel free to bring it along.

Hi Jo Ann:
Thank you and please extend our thanks to Richard and all the others who contributed to our enjoyable and successful sessions at Brooke Valley Bassoon Days in the wilderness of Ontario. You have put together a memorable, wonderful experience for young (and older) musicians. Here is a pat on the back, a hug and a huge appreciation for all that you have done.

Phil and Jacky
