What he does not remember or what he would like to remember is certainly not written here but that is also no longer important. But sometimes, one suspects it through the music.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

I was born in 1948 in Basel (Switzerland), I studied music and especially the horn at the conservatory of Basel, at the Music High School of Freiburg\/Br and at the Jan\u00e1\u010dek Academy in Brno (Czech Republic). Then, I studied conducting with Milan Horvath and Jiri Pinkas and composing with Heinrich Sutermeister.<\/p>\n

From 1973 until 1978, I was 3rd hornist in the Orchestra of Romandy and then, in the Symphony Orchestra of the Radio of Basel.<\/p>\n

In 1980, I became the conductor of the Chamber Opera of Brno. Furthermore, I conducted the Philharmonic Orchestras of Ostrava, Olomouc, Bad Reichenhall and undertook two tours with the Chamber Orchestra of the Janacek Academy to France and Spain<\/p>\n

In 1990, I was appointed as Chief Conductor of the Harmony Orchestra of Nice, an almost professional brass orchestra and where I stayed before until I retired in 2013.<\/p>\n

Am 27. Dezember 2018 und am 27. Dezember 2019 dirigierte ich im Kammermusiksaal der Berliner Philharmonie die \u201eGro\u00dfe Operngala mit Nadezhda Kolesnikova & Freunde\u201c, eine Produktion der Konzertagentur Dr. Dauskardt. Anl\u00e4sslich des Konzertes 2019 wurde mein Lied \u201eDie Zigarre und der Genie\u00dfer\u201c aus dem Gesangszyklus \u201eReise in die Welt der Gen\u00fcsse\u201c uraufgef\u00fchrt.<\/p>\n

Now, I live in Halle (Saale) mainly dedicating myself to my works. I am also still in demand as conductor and arranger.<\/p>\n

Among my compositions, there are symphonies, concertos, vocal music and chamber music works but also the Opera \u201eRaucher-Tango\u201c (Smoker's Tango) for which I also wrote the libretto.<\/p>\n

In 1991, in occasion of the 700th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation, I composed to order of the ETH Zurich and as part of the Heureka-Exhibition, the Prelude \u201eStein auf Stein\u201c for litophone.<\/p>\n

My \u201eViolin Concerto\u201c (1995), the \u201eConcerto Grosso\u201c (1998) but also the \u201eSerenade for 13 wind instruments\u201c (2002) were ordered by the Nice Philharmonic Orchestra. The original production of the first two compositions took place at the Acropolis and at the Opera of Nice. The Serenade for 13 wind instruments was performed during the summer concerts of the Nice Philharmonic Orchestra in 2002 in various places of the Alpes Maritimes region.<\/p>\n

In 1996, my Violin Concerto and in 1997 my 50th psalm for bass voice and orchestra were both nominated for the Composition Prize of Monaco.<\/p>\n

My hobbies are piano improvisation, literature, philosophy, no sport and watching good entertaining movies.<\/p>\n

To relax, I enjoy a cigar with music and red wine.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
