Daniel Nicholas
Marigaux Oboe 901
Nicholas Daniel’s long and distinguished career began when, at the age of 18, he won the BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition and further competitions in Europe. At his debut at the BBC Proms in 1992 the Sunday Times described him as one of the greatest exponents of the oboe in the world. Today one of the UK’s most distinguished soloists as well as an increasingly successful conductor, he has become an important ambassador for music and musicians in many different fields. In recognition of this, he has been awarded the Queen’s Medal for Music for 2011.
Nicholas has been heard on every continent, and has been a concerto soloist with many of the world’s leading orchestras, working under conductors such as Sakari Oramo, Sir Mark Elder, Sir Roger Norrington, Oliver Knussen, Jiri Belohlavek, Edward Gardner and David Robertson. He appears regularly at many international music festivals, including Aldeburgh, Risor, Kuhmo, Delft and West Cork. He has premiered works by composers including Birtwistle, Dutilleux, Musgrave, Osborne, Tavener, Tippett and MacMillan; several of these works have been premiered at the Proms, in which Nicholas also made his conducting debut in 2004 with Britten Sinfonia, of which he is Associate Artistic Director. He enjoys a particularly fruitful artistic relationship with Thea Musgrave and has premiered a number of her works which have been written for him, including Helios (for oboe and orchestra, St Magnus Festival, 1995) and Two’s Company (oboe, percussion and orchestra, BBC Proms, 2007). An active chamber musician, Nicholas is a founder member of the Haffner Wind Ensemble and the Britten Oboe Quartet, enjoying a long history of collaboration with the pianist Julius Drake and a number of distinguished string quartets. He is oboist to the California-based ensemble Camerata Pacifica.
Nicholas is also Artistic Director of the Leicester International Festival, and is Professor of Oboe at the Musikhochschule, Trossingen.
