DEBRA NAGY (oboe & recorder) has been praised for her “dazzling technique and soulful expressiveness,” (Rocky Mountain News), and deemed “an elegant soloist” (Cleveland Plain Dealer). She performs with baroque ensembles and orchestras on both coasts including American Bach Soloists, Portland & Seattle’s Baroque Orchestras, Tempesta di Mare, Rebel, Apollo’s Fire, Musica Pacifica, and many others. Ms. Nagy was the first-prize winner in the 2002 American Bach Soloists Young Artist Competition and is the director of Les Délices, whose debut recording was named “One of the Top Ten Early Music Discoveries of 2009.” She performs 15th-century music on shawms and recorders as a member of Ciaramella. Ms. Nagy serves on the Early Music faculty at Case Western Reserve University, where she earned her doctorate, and completed undergraduate and master’s degrees at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. She has recorded for Capstone Records, Bright Angel, Naxos, Chandos, Koch, Yarlung, CPO, and ATMA. Ms. Nagy makes her home in Cleveland, Ohio, where she was recently awarded a 2010 Creative Workforce Fellowship (a program of the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture, generously funded by Cuyahoga Arts & Culture).
