The couple's playing and singing complemented each other perfectly and arias with obbligato oboe were written for them, as for instance those in Günther von Schwarzburg (1777) by Ignaz Holzbauer, L'Europa riconosciuta (1778) by Antonio Salieri and Castore e Polluce (1787) by Georg Joseph Vogler. With her, he travelled extensively across Europe: Milan, Paris, London, Vienna, Prague, Naples, Munich and Berlin. In the summer of 1778 he married the soprano Franziska Danzi, one of the most outstanding and well-known singers of the time and the sister of composer Franz Danzi.

He was a contemporary of Carl Stamitz and Anton Stamitz, and belonged to the Mannheim school. His father, also an oboist of probably Belgian origin, worked from 1747 at the Mannheim court. He started playing with the orchestra at the age of 12 and became a full member at the age of 15. The well-known and celebrated oboe virtuoso (a contemporary described being 'charmed by his divine oboe') played with the orchestra at the court of the Prince-Elector Carl Theodor in Mannheim. Ludwig August Lebrun (baptized – 16 December 1790) was a German oboist and composer.
