Oboist Nora Post received her B.A. in Experimental Music Studies from the University of California, San Diego–their first Phi Beta Kappa graduate. Receiving her M.A. and Ph.D. from New York University, she was the only music student awarded New York University’s prestigious Walter Anderson Fellowship for doctoral research. A student of Heinz Holliger, Ray Still, and Michel Piguet, she made her debut at New York’s Town Hall. Ms. Post has premiered many new works and has been invited to redesign the oboe through the Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique, Paris. She was the first recipient of the American New Music Consortium Award, given in recognition of her contributions to contemporary American music. She has recorded for Erato (EMI), Orion, Arabesque, and CRI.
In 1985, she began Nora Post, Inc, an oboe importing company now representing nine internationally known oboe manufacturers developing new instruments and models for the North American market. The author of two books and over forty articles, her writings appear in many important music journals.
