The Musicians
Chris O'Neal - Oboe

Christopher O'Neal studied at the Royal College of Music, London, and subsequently won scholarships to study with two of the twentieth century's greatest oboists, Terence MacDonagh and the legendary Heinz Holliger. He has performed as a soloist in many countries throughout Europe and the USA, has broadcast worldwide and made many solo and chamber recordings. He gave the premiere of Dominic Muldowney's Oboe Concerto in its new version for chamber orchestra with OSJ, with whom he has also toured Turkey playing Nicholas Maw's Little Concert, and Italy playing the concerto by Richard Strauss. Christopher is a professor of oboe at the Trinity College of Music, and is oboist of the chamber ensembles Capricorn and the Fibonacci Sequence. |
