The Geisler Ensemble is an international ensemble of wind players that has its main focus in the historically informed performance of music from the 18th and 19th Centuries. Each musician plays on original instruments or copies of original instruments, and the ensemble strives to find a fresh sound in old repertoire and in discovering new works to share with
its audiences. Coming from diverse parts of the world, these musicians met during their years of study at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, and they share, alongside a deep friendship, years of collaboration as members of other ensembles and in a variety of projects.
Florencia Gómez is a flute player who specialises in the performance of historical instruments. She has worked with ensembles and orchestras including the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Apollo ensemble, Holland Baroque Society, Dutch Baroque, Wrocławska Orkiestra Barokowa, Musica Amphion, La Folia Barockorchester, and the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century. She earned her Bachelor and Masters Diplomas in early flutes at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague.
