Jacqueline Shave
Leader
Although Jacqueline received her
formal training at the Royal Academy of Music in London it was at the
Britten-Pears School at Snape in Suffolk where she developed her love
of chamber music and performance inspiration. Over the years in beautiful
surroundings she worked closely with many great artists including the
Beaux Arts Trio, Prague , La Salle and Vermeer Quartets, and led the orchestra
under Rostropovich, Lutoslawski and Murray Perhia.
Since then Jacqueline has dedicated
most of her time to chamber music, leading the Brindisi Quartet for fifteen
years and the Schubert Ensemble from 1989-94. With these groups she performed
the core repertoire and many new commissions worldwide as well as producing
CDs and broadcasting frequently on Radio 3.
Jacqueline was appointed Leader
of Britten Sinfonia in September 2005 and has appeared as guest leader
of the Fibonacci Sequence, Nash Ensemble and London Sinfonietta. She plays
an Italian Dalla Costa violin dated 1752 and lives in Godalming with her
husband and three sons.
