According to a report by the German Cultural Information Center, violist Tabea Zimmermann has been a member of the board of trustees of the Fondation Hindemith, based in Blonay, Vaud, since January 2013.
After professorships at the Hochschule für Musik Saar and the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt am Main, Tabea Zimmermann has been a professor at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin since October 2002.
In the Hindemith memorial year 2013, she is playing works by the composer in various programs, including as soloist in the viola concerto "Der Schwanendreher", with which the Osnabrück Symphony Orchestra was the first German orchestra to visit Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) in Russia in January 2013.
She is currently preparing a complete recording of all of Hindemith's sonatas and concertos for the CD label myrios classics.
The Hindemith Foundation was established by Hindemith's widow and heir Gertrud Hindemith. The foundation established the Hindemith Institute Frankfurt in 1974 and founded the Hindemith Music Center Blonay in 1978. In addition to Zimmermann, the five-member foundation board includes Andreas Eckhardt, François Margot, Hans-Dieter Resch and Andreas Schober. Andres Briner is an honorary member.
