Alex Klein (born 1964, Porto Alegre, Brazil) is an oboist.
Klein joined the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as principal oboe at age 30 in 1995.[1] He won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental soloist with Orchestra for his recording of Richard Strauss' Oboe Concerto with Daniel Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony.[2] He left the Chicago Symphony in July 2004 due to musician's focal dystonia which had begun within two years of his assuming the first chair. During a tour of the Far East with the orchestra, he found his fingers would no longer allow him to play at his finest level throughout a symphony by Tchaikovsky, and asked to resign.[1]
In June 2016, he was once again appointed principal oboe of the Chicago Symphony.[3] However, he was denied tenure in the CSO in April 2017 as a result of not passing the mandatory probation period.[4]
In October 2018, Klein was appointed principal oboe of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra.[5] In May 2024, he was terminated from the orchestra, due to "deeply troubling comments posted online".[6]
