Gallusser succeeds Müller in Zug
The Zug Sinfonietta has a new artistic director, Lion Gallusser, as of June 1, 2021. He succeeds Simon Müller, who has been appointed Artistic Director of the Argovia philharmonic.
The 30-year-old musicologist Lion Gallusser grew up in Affoltern a.

He has previously worked as administrative director for the Musik-Collegium Schaffhausen, project manager and dramaturge for the new Swiss Orchestra and deputy dramaturge at the Tonhalle-Gesellschaft Zürich.
The Zug Sinfonietta was founded in 1998. Since summer 2016, it has been performing its own subscription series in the Lorzensaal Cham under the name "Chamer Klassik Abo". Daniel Huppert has been the ensemble's chief conductor since the 2016/17 concert season. It also carries out music education projects together with the Animation für Schulmusik des Kantons Zug. It receives subsidies from the city and canton of Zug as well as contributions from foundations, municipalities, sponsors and a circle of patrons.
