On Tuesday December 8, 2015 Donna Agrell publicly defended her thesis Repertoire for a Swedish Bassoon Virtuoso. Approaching early nineteenth-century works composed for Frans Preumayr with an original Grenser & Wiesner bassoon at Leiden University.
The supervising team consisted of:
Prof.dr.h.c. Ton Koopman (Universiteit Leiden)
Prof. Frans de Ruiter (Universiteit Leiden)
Dr. Martin Kirnbauer (Universität Basel)
