Orchestra from the lake hires Raphael Honegger
The Orchester vom See, founded in 2011 by Ulrich Stüssi in the Lake Zurich region and previously conducted by him, has a new conductor in Raphael Maximilian Honegger. The symphony orchestra comprises around fifty professional musicians and some students.
The award-winning Raphael Honegger studied orchestral conducting at the ZHdK under Johannes Schlaefli and physics at the ETH Zurich.
The Orchester vom See forms a bridge for young professional musicians and music students from their music studies to membership of one of the major orchestras (including the Tonhalle Zurich, Philharmonia Zurich, Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and Melbourne Symphony Orchestra) or to a career as a soloist. It performs challenging works from the baroque, classical, romantic and modern periods as well as works by the Wädenswil organist Fritz Stüssi (1874 - 1923).
Young professional musicians or music students under the age of 30, with at least a Bachelor's degree, who would like to play in the Orchester vom See from the November 2018 project can apply by July 5, 2018 with a detailed CV by e-mail: us@orchestervomsee.ch
Addendum September 13, 2023: The orchestra is now called the Zurich Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra: https://www.zuercherkammerphilharmonie.ch/orchester
It is managed by Dominic Limburg.
