Benjamin Coelho, bassoon, and
Carlos Coelho, oboe
8:00pm Schuster Hall, Creative Arts Center

Benjamin and Carlos Coelho, while from a very musical family, raely perform together; Benjamin is an Associate Professor of Bassoon at The University of Iowa since 1998 while Carlos performs in Indianapolis and has Carlos Coelho Woodwinds, where he repairs and sells oboes and English horns. The brothers are very excited about performing together at Wright State since it is very unusual for them to do this.

Benjamin Coelho, Associate Professor of Bassoon, has been at The University of Iowa since 1998. He has appeared as soloist, chamber musician, orchestral musician, teacher and clinician in several countries including the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Portugal, France, Romania, Australia, Canada and Czech Republic. 

He has released two solo CDs: Bassoon Images from the Americas (Albany Records, 2003), and Bravura Bassoon (Crystal Records, 2005). Additionally, he has recorded two CDs with the double reed ensemble WiZARDS!, the first released in 2000 by Crystal Records and second CD released by Boston Records in October of 2003. Mr. Coelho's third chamber music CD, Pas de Trois, is soon to be released on the Crystal Records label.

Mr. Coelho’s articles on bassoon performance and literature have been published in the journals of the International Double Reed Society, as well as the British Double Reed Society, as well as the German magazine ROHRBLATT.

Carlos Coelho was born in Brazil, studied Oboe in the United States at the Manhattan School of Music; SUNY Purchase (State Univ. of New York);Temple University (Philadelphia); and CUNY City College of New York), where he is a candidate for the Doctorate in Oboe Performance degree.

His teachers included Henry Schuman, Elaine Douvas, and Louis Rosenblatt. He also studied with Ingo Goritzki at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hannover, Germany.

Carlos' first Oboe teacher was his father, who was director of the Conservatorio Musical de Tatui, one of the largest music schools in South America. Carlos and his father are not the only musicians in the family. Not only is his brother Benjamin a bassoonist, his brother Tadeu is a professor of Flute at the North Carolina School for the Arts. A graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Music, brother Luiz is a band director in Cleveland, Ohio.
