Esther Flückiger represents Switzerland
Esther Flückiger will represent Switzerland at the ISCM World Music Days 2020 in New Zealand with the work "Guarda i lumi - 5 migrating, sound images for violin and piano".
Egidius Streiff coordinated the submissions of the Swiss Society for New Music (ISCM Switzerland). This year, works by Heidi Baader-Nobs, Regina Irman, Karl Alfons Zwicker, Blaise Ubaldini, Carlo Ciceri and Esther Flückiger were submitted. After Helena Winkelman (2015), Iris Szeghy (2016) and Junghae Lee (2019), Flückiger is the fourth Swiss composer to present a composition at the ISCM World Music Days.
Esther Flückiger, born in Bern in 1959, works as a pianist, improviser and composer. She also draws on a rich foundation in the multimedia field, which demonstrates her familiarity with both the classical repertoire and jazz idioms. Her works have been performed in Europe, the USA, Russia, Asia and South America and are documented on numerous CD, TV and radio recordings.
The ISCM World Music Days is the annual festival of the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM), founded in 1922, and will take place in Auckland and Christchurch, New Zealand, from April 22 to 30 in 2020. It will be hosted by the Composers Association of New Zealand (CANZ) together with the Asian Composers League.
