Wiening and Hnatek teach at the ZHdK
Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) welcomes two new main subject lecturers in jazz/pop percussion from September 2022: Mareike Wiening and Arthur Hnatek.
Wiening and Hnatek succeed long-time percussion lecturers Andy Brugger and Tony Renold, who are leaving the ZHdK for reasons of age, and join the faculty with Pius Baschnagel, Nikolaus Looser and Ruven Ruppik (jazz, pop), Raphael Christen, Benjamin Forster and Klaus Schwärzler (classical).
The drummer and composer Mareike Wiening studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Mannheim, at the Rytmisk Music Conservatory in Copenhagen and at New York University. She works as a freelance jazz musician in various international projects and ensembles in New York and Europe and leads her own jazz quintet, which exclusively performs her compositions.
The 32-year-old drummer, composer and electronica artist Arthur Hnatek is an award-winning contemporary musician from Switzerland. He currently releases and performs electronic music, explores acoustic improvisations and experimental club tracks. He is the winner of the prestigious Swiss Music Prize 2022.
