Shave, Jacqueline (violin)

Jacqueline Shave (violin)

Jacqueline Shave received her formal musical training at the Royal Academy of Music but drew her particular performance inspiration and her love of chamber music from her times at the Britten Pears School in Snape.

She spent fifteen years leading the Brindisi String Quartet, giving concerts worldwide,recording, and appearing regularly at the Wigmore Hall and on Radio 3. She has since been in constant demand as a leader and director and has appeared in this role with many of the UK orchestras including the London Sinfonietta, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Scottish, BBC Symphony, and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.

She was appointed leader of Britten Sinfonia in 2005 and spent more than fifteen years in this role, winning the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society Award. She is currently leader of the Red Note Ensemble, Scotland’s leading Contemporary music group, and the violinist in the Britten Oboe Quartet. She now spends her time divided between performing in London, and composing on the Isle of Harris and in Penzance where she now lives. She has recently formed a chamber group based in Penzance called Queen Gwendolen’s Spell and they perform eclectic programmes including her own compositions.

Her pieces can be heard on the albums ‘Postcards from Home’ and ‘Freedom to Roam’.

Jacqueline plays on a violin by Nicolo Amati of Cremona 1672 acquired for her by the Stradivari Trust.
