Hardly any concertgoer today is aware of the rich variety of Swiss music from the classical and romantic periods. The works of once distinguished composers have unjustly fallen into oblivion: among them, for example, Hans Huber (1852-1921), who is sometimes referred to as “the most important Swiss composer of the 19th century”. Even the works of Friedrich Hegar (1841-1927), a composer colleague of Johannes Brahms and first conductor of the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra, or his successor Volkmar Andreae, who was also a popular composer during his lifetime, are rarely performed any more. The list could be extended considerably with names such as Edouard Dupuy, Fritz Brun, Hermann Suter, Ernest Bloch, Johann Carl Eschmann and Pierre Maurice.
This is where the Swiss Orchestra Society comes in: As sponsor of the Swiss Orchestra, the Swiss Orchestra Society is committed to a re-evaluation of Swiss symphonic music and makes it accessible to a wide audience.
