Tabea Debus
A rising star of her instrument in the early 2020s, recorder player Tabea Debus has an interest in contemporary music as well as core Baroque repertory. She is also a noted educator and a creator of outreach projects centered on the recorder.
Debus was born in Würzburg, Germany, on February 10, 1991. She attended the Frankfurt University of Music and the Performing Arts, studying with Michael Schneider, and then went on to the Royal Academy of Music in London for further studies with Pamela Thorby. Along the way, she benefited from two major German scholarships, the Deutscher akademischer Austauschdiest ("German Academic Exchange Service"), or DAAD, and the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes ("Study Fellowship of the German People"). In the early 2010s, she won several important prizes, including first place showings at the 2011 Hülsta Woodwinds International and 2014 Johann Heinrich Schmelzer and Competitions, and she won places in several artist-development programs that had rarely hosted recorder players, including the St. John’s Smith Square Young Artist (2015-2016) and City Music Foundation Artist (2016-2018) programs. By that period, Debus was already touring extensively across Europe and the U.S., and as far afield as Colombia and Malaysia, and she has appeared in recital at Wigmore Hall in London as well as at a host of festivals in Britain and Germany. Debus has collaborated with many leading early music ensembles, including the Dunedin Consort, The English Concert, and the English Chamber Orchestra (at Cadogan Hall in London). She is also the founder of the early music group ensemble tr!jo and has collaborated with various living composers, appearing as soloist with the WDR Rundfunkchor in Cologne, Germany, in a concert of new recorder concertos.
Debus has recorded for the TYX Art, Delphian, and Signum Classics labels, appearing with the ensemble La Serenissima on the album Settecento on the latter imprint in 2021. Devoted to education and outreach, she teaches at the Wells Cathedral School, has led workshops at the Royal Academy of Music and Cambridge University, and has appeared in schools and at the Royal London Hospital.
