Charles Wines

baroque oboe, bassoon, and recorder

Renowned for his wizardry with early woodwinds, Charles Wines exhibits expertise in recorder, historical flutes, historical oboes, modern and historical bassoons, and bagpipes. He holds a Master of Music in historical oboes and is pursuing a Doctorate in historical bassoons at Indiana University. Wines has illuminated stages alongside distinguished ensembles like Piffaro: The Renaissance Band, Mallarme Chamber Players, the North Carolina Baroque Orchestra, and the Kansas City Baroque Consortium. He is co-founder of the new ensemble, Angels in the Architecture, whose inaugural concert brings together 500 years of secular musical traditions in Paris. Apart from music, Charles enthusiastically practices juggling and takes pleasure in both learning new languages and delving into their evolutionary processes.
