Biography

Adrian Buzac belongs to the top class of international oboists. He was born in Brasov Romania and grew up in a well-known family of musicians.

Thanks to his outstanding development on the instrument, he was able to begin studying concert oboe in Salzburg at the age of 16. This was later followed by studies in instrumental pedagogy, baroque oboe and musicology. Among his inspiring teachers were Lothar Koch, Maurice Bourgue, Günther Passin and Alfredo Bernardini.

At a young age he gained extensive orchestral experience and an immense repertoire with orchestras and ensembles such as the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, the Orchestra of the Tyrolean Festival Erl, the Bruckner Orchestra Linz, the Simon Bolivar Orchestra, the Salzburg Chamber Soloists, the Symphony Orchestra Liechtenstein, the Vienna Concert-Verein, the Symphony Orchestra Vorarlberg, the Ensemble Esperanza, the ÖENM and Windkraft Tirol.

A multiple first prize winner of national and international competitions, he has been sponsored by the Soros Foundation, the Karajan-Centrum Berlin, the Sofie Föhn Scholarship Foundation, and conductors such as Gustav Kuhn, Dennis Russell Davies and Gustavo Dudamel.

In addition to his international career as a soloist and orchestral musician, he has been very successfully leading the main oboe and chamber music class at the Stella Vorarlberg Private University of Music since 2008.

Master classes at home and abroad as well as the activity as a juror at national and international competitions extend his pedagogical field of work.

His graduates are already successful teachers and orchestral musicians.

He is currently principal oboist of the Liechtenstein Symphony Orchestra and a member of the ENSEMBLES ESPERANZA of the Music Academy in Liechtenstein.
