Ensemble Aubade concertizes across the United States, winning praise for stellar musicianship and vibrant performances.  The group has been hailed for "intensity, imagination, skill, and finesse" (St. Lawrence University).

Peter H. Bloom (flute, alto flute, bass flute, piccolo) concertizes in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand; is featured on 45 recordings; and has given workshops, master classes and lecture-demos across the globe.  He is contributing editor for Noteworthy Sheet Music and is a winner of the American Musicological Society's Noah Greenberg Award.   His career encompasses diverse chamber music from the Renaissance to the 21st century, as well as jazz standards, blues, bebop, free improvisation, and the avant-garde.  The Boston Globe called his playing "a revelation for unforced sweetness and strength," while Jazz Improv hailed his "exquisite melody…the improvisations growing organically out of the theme" and ArtsFuse wrote, "His solos on flute and amplified flute are always highlights of a performance."
