NIGEL SHORE

The English oboist Nigel Shore is currently principal first oboe at the Komische Oper Berlin. After four years with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, he became a much sought-after player in numerous chamber orchestras internationally, such as the Kammerorchester Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, the Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart and the Kammerorchester Berlin. Over the last twenty years solo engagements have taken him regularly to Japan, Russia, the Middle East, North and South America and throughout Europe, for concerts with artists such as Peter Schreier, Hartmut Haenchen, Saulius Sondeckis, Paul Goodwin, Frank-Peter Zimmermann, Jochen Kowalski and Paco de Lucia. He was a founding member of the Berlin Oboe Quartet, which commissioned and recorded many important new works for oboe and string trio, Ensemble Aureus which undertook concert and education work worldwide for the Goethe- Institut and, more recently, KO5, the Wind Quintet of the Komische Oper Berlin, which continues the lively tradition of wind chamber music established at the Comic Opera in a regular series of Berlin concerts.
