Changing of the guard at Ensemble Proton
Matthias Kuhn, the current conductor of the Bernese ensemble Proton, is stepping down at the end of 2019. In future, artistic and strategic decisions will be made collectively.
In addition to Matthias Kuhn, three guest conductors will lead the concerts of the 2020 anniversary season, and talks are currently underway, the ensemble writes. The ensemble is now advertising the position of managing director. The ensemble is looking for a person with knowledge of the national and international contemporary music scene and the foundation landscape as well as experience in cultural policy.
Founded in 2010, Ensemble Proton is the ensemble in residence at the Dampfzentrale in Bern. It performs the Proton am Montag concert series four times a year. In March 2018, it performed at Stanford University and UC Berkeley. As part of further concerts in San Francisco and Seattle, it realized the world premiere of the work "INFR-A-KTION" by Dominique Schafer.
