Ben Matus

Bassoonist Ben Matus developed a love for Early Music at a young age while growing up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  As a boy soprano, Ben's favorite music to sing was from the Baroque and Renaissance eras. Now, Ben indulges his childhood dreams playing historical bassoons and dulcians  in New York City and around the country with wonderful colleagues and friends. Ben studied modern bassoon at the Eastman School of Music and historical bassoons at the Juilliard School.  In his spare time, he can be found making and drinking coffee, reading, playing lute poorly, or cannot be found as he is deep in the woods. Ben is thrilled to be playing this incredible music in this wonderfully beautiful part of the world.
