City of Berne Cultural Commission expanded
The Executive Board of the City of Bern has increased the number of possible members of the Culture Commission to 50 and elected the members for the period 2025-2028.
The Cultural Commission of the City of Bern was created in 2024 from the previous divisional commissions. It currently consists of up to 45 people and is diverse in terms of expertise, experience and perspectives. The municipal council has now amended the regulatory basis so that the Culture Commission can now comprise up to 50 people.
Barbara Boss, Antonia Brix, Sandra Forrer, Tanina Jenk, Johanna Pärli, Tiziana Simpson and Joel Zumbrunnen were newly elected to the Culture Commission. One member was no longer elected because, according to the city's press release, he "attracted attention through hate speech on social media".
The following people represent music on the City of Bern's Culture Commission: Avital Cohen (flutist, sound and performance artist, educator), Maxi Ehrenzeller (painter, writer, musician), Marcel Kägi (musician and producer), Hannes Liechti (musicologist), Gwendolyn Masin (violinist, musicologist, curator and lecturer), Johanna Pärli (musician, music educator), Estelle Plüss (musician, author), Hassan Taha (musician, lecturer and composer), This Wachter (audio producer), Florence Weber (musicologist, cultural manager) and David Zürcher (musician, filmmaker).
