Canton of Berne honors Barbara Balba Weber

Barbara Balba Weber had already developed programs as a young concert organizer in which the works comment on and "mediate" each other, writes the Canton of Bern. Today, she is an expert in artistic music education. She repeatedly enables children, young people and adults to have a direct encounter with the musical work of art and always guarantees "surprising and unique listening experiences and a real 'understanding' of the music, far beyond the mere musicological classification".

Barbara Balba Weber heads the national "Kompass Musikvermittlung" process and recently launched "pakt bern- das neue musik netzwerk". She works and teaches as a professor at Bern University of the Arts and is a guest lecturer at universities throughout the German-speaking world. She is currently writing a dissertation on artistic music education.
