Many years ago, Carlos became one of few people in the world chosen to be an authorized Lorée Dealer. The Lorée family put great faith in him, and their trust has led to a relationship valued by both parties.

Carlos was born in Brazil and was first taught the oboe by his father, a director of the Conservatorio Musical de Tatui, one of the largest music schools in South America.

Carlos’ brother, Tadeu, is a Professor of Flute at the North Carolina School for the Arts. His brother Benjamin, formerly the Principal Bassoonist of the Teatro Municipal in Rio de Janeiro, is now a Bassoon Professor at the University of Iowa School of Music. And his brother Luiz, a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Music, is now a band director in California.

Carlos Coelho later moved to the United States to pursue education in Oboe Performance. He studied Oboe at the Manhattan School of Music, at SUNY Purchase (State Univ. of New York), at Temple University (Philadelphia), and at CUNY (City Univ. of New York) – where he is a candidate for the Doctorate in Oboe Performance Degree.

His teachers included Henry Schuman, Elaine Douvas, and Louis Rosenblatt. He also studied with Ingo Goritzki at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hannover, Germany.

After getting his Masters, Carlos was the Principal Oboist of the Campinas Symphony Orchestra and faculty member of the University of Campinas in Brazil. Carlos has also performed with the International Chamber Music Ensemble of the Associazione Musicale Riky Haertelt from Torino, Italy.

A few years later, Carlos moved to Indianapolis and started his own Oboe repair and sales business. Lorée decided he was just what they were looking for, and the rest is history.

Carlos found what he loves doing most when he opened his Oboe shop.

Most of Carlos’ time is spent servicing, repairing, testing, and perfecting Oboes and English Horns that pass through his shop. Especially during winter, Carlos is incredibly busy, but he loves what he does.

Carlos works with and mentors students all over the world. He also represents Lorée in woodwind conferences all over the USA. In the picture, Carlos is with Dwight Parry (on the left) and Oliver De Gourdon (on the right).
