Behind the music: Barbara Kehrig

With bassoonist Barbara Kehrig, we explore Bogotá, Colombia: its old town, its famous Gold Museum and its fruit and vegetable market. Along the way, we talk basson with her. What makes a beautiful bassoon tone? How do the roles of first and second bassoon differ? And what are the challenges of playing at 2,640 metres above sea level?
