Kathleen Duguet develops a comprehensive approach to making music by performing on recorder, traverso, and baroque and modern oboes. Playing regularly with the New York Collegium, The Bach Ensemble and Handel and Haydn Society among others, Kathleen is also the co-founder of RHETORIC, a chamber music ensemble performing four centuries of music on authentic instruments. She was a finalist in Early Music America’s Bodky Competition, and in the Early Music Network’s International Chamber Music Competition. Kathleen has recently completed a recording for Dorian of music for two oboes by Jan Dismas Zelenka. Originally from Naples, Florida, Kathleen followed her music to Eastman and Indiana University before moving to New York.

"... Duguet, on baroque oboe, played with high energy and an equal amount of accuracy."

"... Duguet plays her flauto traverso nimbly and with delightful ornamentation and she tosses all her difficult leaps and skips off with ease."
