A key milestone in this journey was the 2023 premiere of his orchestral work Winter, where Shaul appeared as oud soloist with the German Chamber Orchestra Berlin in the Great Hall of the Berliner Philharmonie—bringing his cross-cultural sound into one of Europe’s most iconic concert halls.

This spirit of exchange also led him, in 2021, to found Ensemble Flensburg, a cross-border ensemble dedicated to communicative new music. As its musical director, Shaul curates projects that emphasize collaboration, openness, and dialogue, presenting new works by composers from around the world.

Education and community building naturally flow from this artistic practice. For more than twenty years, Shaul has conducted choirs and amateur orchestras, led workshops, and built musical communities rooted in togetherness and shared curiosity. In recent years, he has brought a new wave of projects to the far north of Germany—most notably Weltivale (2024), a mini-festival for new world music in Flensburg.
Alongside his compositional and educational work, Shaul is currently writing his first book on composition, I, Compose?! (working title). The book is conceived as a friendly, accessible guide for amateurs, students, and professional musicians, encouraging confident first steps into composing.

His work has been recognized with several awards, including Best Music at the International Film Festival of Ahmednagar (India, 2021), First Prize at the International Tapiola Choir Choral Composition Competition (Finland, 2020), and scholarships from institutions such as the German Music Fund, the German Music Council, the Berlin Senate, the Cultural Foundation of the State of Schleswig-Holstein, and the America-Israel Cultural Foundation.

Across all of Shaul’s work, one thread remains constant: a deep belief that music can bring distant worlds closer together—not by smoothing out differences, but by letting them speak to one another with honesty, curiosity, and joy.
