About
Born in Berlin, Fabian Boreck holds a Diploma from the Academy of Music 'Hanns Eisler' Berlin and a baroque cello Master's Degree from the University of the Arts Berlin.
After earlier projects as principal cellist of the Berlin State Youth Orchestra, he was a permanent member of the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie (Young German
Philharmonic, the major federal student orchestra), substitute in the Konzerthausorchester Berlin and a member of the Orchestra Academy of the Staatskapelle Weimar. He attended masterclasses with
Peter Bruns, Gustav Rivinius, Wolfgang Boettcher and Markus Möllenbeck.
Fabian Boreck is the associate principal cellist of the Oldenburg State Orchestra (Germany) and is also active as a soloist and chamber musician. Due to his interest in audiophile music listening, film music and sound engineering he is also asked by composers for recordings. His decades-long passion for improvisation makes him a sought-after artist in this field, hence he has worked with musicians and producers from across Europe, the United States and Australia. He is gradually publishing his solo improvisations as sheet music editions, which can be downloaded here at → Media.
Fabian Boreck came to early music via the organ. His intensive study of performance practice, musicology of the 16th to 18th centuries, the production of Urtext editions of sheet music and the interest in city views and maps of this time already began in his school days; on the baroque cello he received further important impulses from renowned musicians from the Berlin and Cologne region, including William Dongois, Kristin von der Goltz, Georg Kallweit, Werner Matzke, Dorothee Oberlinger, Christine Schornsheim and Anton Steck. Over the years he has worked with artists such as Howard Arman, Reinhard Goebel, Jörg Halubek, Joachim Held, Peter van Heyghen, Wolfgang Katschner, Alexis Kossenko, Riccardo Minasi, Hille Perl, Luca Pianca, Ludger Rémy and Veronika Skuplik. As a guest he followed invitations to ensembles such as Berliner Barock Solisten (Berliner Philharmoniker), Les Amis de Philippe, Altera pars, Thüringer Bach Collegium, Chursächsische Capelle Leipzig, Norddeutsches Barock-Collegium, Concerto Farinelli, La Dolcezza, and others.
In his spare time, he devotes himself to photography, particularly the artistic depiction of musical instruments and Germany's beautiful, unspoilt landscapes – always on the lookout for new perspectives and special moments. → To photography
