Thurgau promotes Keller and Tobler
The canton of Thurgau is supporting the musicians Johannes Keller and Ruedi Tobler with 25,000 francs each. The funding is intended to facilitate their artistic development.
Johannes Keller studied early music (majoring in harpsichord), basso continuo and ensemble conducting at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. He is co-founder of the basso continuo ensemble "Il Profondo" and the duo "L'Istante" (with violinist Anaïs Chen). He regularly collaborates with Andrea Marcon, including as assistant for opera productions at the Theater Basel, the Frankfurt Opera and the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence.
Ruedi Tobler is a musician and producer from Winterthur. In addition to band projects (John Gailo, Europa: Neue Leichtigkeit, etc.), he is on the road with his electronic solo project playmob.il and works as a music lecturer at the Winterthur Institute for Contemporary Music.
In addition to Keller and Tobler, the expert jury selected the following Thurgau artists from 68 applications: Sarah Hugentobler, video and performance artist, Bern, Isabelle Krieg, visual artist, Kreuzlingen, Bennett Smith, visual artist, Lucerne and Tabea Steiner, author, Zurich.
