Samuel Steinemann, born in 1971, grew up in Zug and studied musicology, philosophy and ethnomusicology at the University of Zurich as well as cultural management at the ZHAW. During and after his studies, he wrote music reviews, program booklet texts and worked for artist agencies and concert promoters (including Tonhalle Zurich, KKL Lucerne, Kartause Ittingen).

The Künstlerhaus Boswil is a center for classical music, a place of encounter, international cultural exchange, artistic debate and retreat. The emphasis is 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.
