Grant for Laura Müller
The Canton of Zug is honoring the work of clarinettist Laura Müller, assistant at the Music Department of the Bern University of the Arts (HKB), with a grant of CHF 10,000.
Laura Müller, born in Zug, discovered the clarinet at the age of five and has been playing it ever since, according to a statement from the HKB. After completing a Bachelor's degree in classical clarinet with Fabio di Càsola (E-flat clarinet with Heinrich Mätzener) at Zurich University of the Arts, she completed a Master's degree in Music Performance with Ernesto Molinari (bass clarinet with Bernhard Röthlisberger) and a Master's degree in Specialized Performance with a specialization in Music in Context with Barbara Balba Weber at the HKB with distinction.
In her own projects, Laura Müller searches for new concert formats for the 21st century audience. In addition to her musical activities, she studies German linguistics and literature, art history and psychology at the University of Bern and has been dancing ballet for over 20 years. Her ambition to unite different disciplines into a greater whole is rooted in these diverse interests.
