DEBRA NAGY (oboe), praised for her “dazzling technique and soulful expressiveness,” (Rocky Mountain News), is in demand as a soloist and collaborative musician on both coasts, performing with baroque ensembles and orchestras in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Denver, Cleveland, Philadelphia, and New York. Debra was the first-prize winner in the 2002 American Bach Soloists Young Artist Competition, is the founder of Les Delices, an ensemble dedicated to chamber music of the French Baroque, and performs fifteenth-century music on shawms and recorders as a member of Ciaramella. Debra received her doctorate in Early Music at Case Western Reserve University (where she directs the Collegium Musicum), and completed undergraduate and master’s degrees at the Oberlin Conservatory, where she studied with James Caldwell and Gonzalo Ruiz. Debra has recorded for the Capstone, Bright Angel, Naxos, Hänssler Classics, Chandos, and ATMA labels.
