Zanetta in Basel lecturer for historical horn
Frenchman Alexandre Zanetta will take over the historical horn class at the Scola Cantorum Basel as Thomas Müller's successor from September 2022.
Born in 1990, Alexandre Zanetta comes from near Paris and had his first encounter with the natural horn at the age of 15 with his teacher Jacques Adnet (CRR Paris). He later studied modern horn with Marie-Luise Neunecker at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin and with Jens Plücker at the Lübeck Academy of Music. This was followed by studies with Thomas Müller and Jean-François Madeufan at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, with an emphasis on baroque horns and the combination of horn playing and singing.
Zanetta has been a lecturer for historical horns at the Trossingen University of Music since 2021 and is also active at the academic level. He is regularly engaged by renowned early music ensembles such as La Cetra Barockorchester Basel, Collegium 1704 and Concerto Copenhagen, and has taken part in CD productions with the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg and Los Elementos, among others.
