The U-M Bassoon Studio performs the first recital in a year-long examination of the “morceaux de concours” or contest pieces composed to challenge the students at the Paris Conservatoire. These works have set the standard for bassoonists around the world since the competition first began in 1824. The program includes works by Roger Boutry, René Duclos, Odette Gartenlaub, Ginette Keller, Pierre-Petit and others.
