Artistic Director
\nCellist and Conductor[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]Albert Roman, who grew up in a music-loving family in St. Moritz, was fascinated by the cello early on, which was to decisively influence his entire life. His teachers were Paul Szabo, Andr\u00e9 Navarra, Pierre Fournier, and Mstislav Rostropovich. His international concert and teaching activity began with two prizes at international music competitions and led him to Europe, Asia, and the United States. His repertoire as a soloist includes more than 100 works from the Baroque to the 21st<\/sup> century. Thus, he premiered numerous works, some of which were dedicated to him. Albert Roman also champions contemporary music with introductory concerts and has performed with Pierre Boulez as a conductor. Among Albert Roman\u2019s recordings, the following deserve to be specially mentioned: Rudolf Moser\u2019s Cello Concerto No. 2<\/em> with the English Chamber Orchestra; Miniatures<\/em>, a recording of a duo with Italian pianist Bruno Canino; and J S\u00a0 Bach\u2019s six solo Cello Suites<\/em>.
\nA particular concern of his is a creative exchange as part of musical education and training. That is why Albert Roman regularly teaches students, heads workshops and, every summer, conducts a workshop for cello ensemble in St. Moritz. Albert Roman is the Artistic Director of Chesa da Cultura and Conductor of the Swiss China Cello Orchestra. He was honoured with the 1999 Friendship Award of the People\u2019s Republic of China for his promotion of young Chinese musicians. Albert Roman lives in Basel and St Moritz.<\/p>\n

Honorary President in memoriam
\nComposer and Conductor[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]Pierre Boulez, who was born in Montbrison (D\u00e9partement Loire) in 1925, initially studied mathematics before deciding, at the age of 17, to devote himself entirely to music. After studying with Olivier Messiaen and Ren\u00e9 Leibowitz, who acquainted him with Schoenberg\u2019s twelve-tone technique, he introduced himself as a composer with Douze Notations<\/em> (1945) and two piano sonatas (1946 and 1948) establishing his worldwide reputation above all with the world premiere in Baden-Baden of his chamber cantata Le Marteau sans Ma\u00eetre <\/em>(1955). In the following years, his career as a conductor took up more and more of his time, culminating in his performances of Parsifal<\/em> (1966\u201370) and the Ring <\/em>(1976\u201380) at Bayreuth and his appointment as musical director of the BBC Symphony Orchestra (1960\u201372) and the New York Philharmonic (1971\u201375). From 1976 till 1991, he then served as director of IRCAM, the research institute for contemporary music that he founded at the Pompidou Centre and of the Ensemble Intercontemporain in Paris. As part of this work, he developed a new compositional style based on advanced technologies; examples of this can be found in R\u00e9pons<\/em> or Dialogue de l\u2019Ombre double<\/em>.
\nSince the beginning of the 1990s, Pierre Boulez began to turn his attention once again to conducting, leading such orchestras as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics, and the Staatskapelle Berlin. In the summers of 2004 and 2005, he again conducted Parsifal<\/em> at the Bayreuth Festival and, in 2007, Jan\u00e1\u010dek\u2019s From the House of the Dead <\/em>at the Vienna Festival.
\nIn 2003, he founded the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ACADEMY. Pierre Boulez is the recipient of the Siemens Music Award, the Praemium Imperiale, the Theodor W. Adorno Award, the Kyoto Award, and the Adenauer de Gaulle Award.
\nFrom 1999 till 2016, Pierre Boulez was Honorary President of the Pro Musica e Cultura Foundation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
