New management at Ensemble Proton Bern
At the beginning of September, Beat Sieber takes over from Annelise Alder as Managing Director of Ensemble Proton Bern. Founded three years ago, the orchestra is dedicated to performing contemporary music.
Trained as a cellist in Biel and Lausanne, Sieber worked for five years with the Rheinische Philharmonie state orchestra in Koblenz (Germany). He is currently studying for a master's degree in cultural management at the University of Zurich and works as project manager for the vocal ensemble Ardent.
Ensemble Proton Bern is active in Switzerland and internationally. It has particular ties to its home city of Bern, where it is an "Associated Artist" of the Dampfzentrale Bern. Its next performance will take place on September 6, 2013 as part of the Bern Music Festival.
