Born in Famagusta, violinist Nihat Agdac was one of the first two musicians from Cyprus to receive Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music’s “Playing for Peace Award” which took him to Apple Hill in 1999 and 2008. Holding degrees from prominent institutions including the Royal Academy of Music and Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Nihat has toured many countries with world-class orchestras. After enjoying permanent as well as guest leading, principal, and tutti positions in TRNC Presidential Symphony, Cyprus Chamber, City of Birmingham Symphony, Verbier Festival, London Symphony orchestras and many more, Nihat is looking forward to become a full member of the prestigious BBC Symphony Orchestra in London as of August. He continues giving recitals, solo performances and chamber music concerts with different musicians.
