Schneider leaves the Künstlerhaus Boswil
After almost 13 years of service, Managing Director Michael Schneider will be leaving Künstlerhaus Boswil on June 30, 2019. According to a statement from the Künstlerhaus, the Aarau-based cultural manager, composer and musicologist has decided to seek a new professional challenge.
Schneider has managed the Künstlerhaus Boswil as a cultural institution since 2006, "modernizing and expanding its operations and making a lasting positive impact at all levels". During his time as Managing Director, he established the Künstlerhaus Boswil as a center for classical music, anchored it as a cultural beacon in Aargau and renewed the infrastructure through construction projects.
According to the official press release, the Board of Trustees deeply regrets the decision of its Managing Director and thanks him "for his many years of extremely valuable work". The Board of Trustees is once again looking for an overall manager for the Künstlerhaus in order to continue the successful work of recent years.
The center for classical music Künstlerhaus Boswil, which includes the old church and other properties in Boswil, is run by a private foundation. It organizes a festival, master concerts and other events. An emphasis is placed on new music and the promotion of young musicians: with the Boswil Ensemble for New Music, the Aargau Youth Symphony Orchestra and the Freiamt Youth Orchestra, the Künstlerhaus supports three of its own ensembles in the field of orchestral education.
