Our History
The Glickman Ensemble was formed in honor of Loren Glickman (1924 - 2021). The Ensemble performs works for solo, duos, trios, quartets and sextets, with and without piano accompaniment, from the Baroque era through the 20th Century.
Loren Glickman, composer/arranger, is recognized as one of America's foremost bassoon soloists. He is one of the founding artists of the prestigious Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center where he performed for twenty years. He has performed at the Whitehouse, at the United Nations and on many tours throughout the continental United States and Alaska. He has been a guest artist with the Juilliard, the Guarneri, the Lenox and the Alexander Schneider String Quartets and has recorded chamber music on Columbia, Angel, Vanguard, MGM, Kapp and Counterpoint Records.
Mr. Glickman has composed music for many films and has published over 100 pieces for the bassoon, solo and ensemble. Mr. Glickman has written three books including the definitive book on reed making, which he co-authoried with Mark Popkin.
