Canton Thurgau supports Häberlin and Wiesli
Once a year, the canton of Thurgau awards personal grants of 25,000 francs each to artists from Thurgau. This year's recipients include the composer and pianist Andreas Häberlin and the pianist Andrea Wiesli.
Andreas Häberlin studied composition at the Zurich University of the Arts and music at Beatle Paul McCartney's Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. Andrea Wiesli studied with Konstantin Scherbakov at the Zurich University of Music. In 2015, she completed her doctorate in musicology at the University of Zurich on Liszt's Schubert transcriptions.
This year, a total of six grants will be awarded to artists from the fields of theater, music and visual arts in the canton of Thurgau. The grants are specifically intended to facilitate personal and artistic development.
In addition to Häberlin and Wiesli, the expert jury selected the following artists from 54 applications: Ray Hegelbach, visual artist, Oslo; Isabelle Kaiser, theater maker, Rickenbach b. Wil; Daniel V. Keller, visual artist, Zurich; Rachel Lumsden, visual artist, Arbon and St.Gallen.
