Jürg

HanselmannThe Liechtenstein-Swiss pianist and composer obtained the soloist diploma for piano "with distinction" at the Bern Conservatory. Further stations of his training were Louis Kentner (London) and Irina Edelstein (Frankfurt/M.), master classes with the Beaux Arts Trio and Mieczyslaw Horszowski. He subsequently studied composition and counterpoint with Sándor Veress. Jürg Hanselmann is a multiple winner (e.g. Migros Competition Zurich, Culture Prize of the Int. Bodenseekonferenz München). Concerts in Europe and the USA, radio and film recordings and numerous CD productions - including the entire piano work of Josef Rheinberger - document his artistic activity. As a composer, Jürg Hanselmann has distinguished himself with piano, chamber music, choral and orchestral works, e.B. 2010 with the world premiere of his Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, the first work of this genre by a Swiss composer. For his wind quintet "Ricercare" he won first prize in the composition competition "Klang der Welt" of the Deutsche Oper Berlin in 2012. His works are published by the Bernese music publisher Müller & Schade AG.
