Aderi replaces Frauchiger
The municipal council, the city's executive body, has elected replacements to three of Bern's cultural promotion commissions as of January 1, 2018: It elected the singer Joana Maria Aderi to the Music Commission.
The singer, producer and performer Aderi works in the field of electronic music. She replaces Katrin Frauchiger, who was a member of the Music Committee from 2012 to June 2017. Aderi grew up in central Switzerland. She initially studied Renaissance music, but then also became interested in contemporary music from hip-hop to free jazz and electronics. In 2004 she started her own experimental electronic project EIKO. During her studies at the Basel Jazz School, she spent an exchange semester in Norway, where she completed her studies in Trondheim with a Master of Performance. Aderi returned to Switzerland in 2012.
Regina Füchslin is a new member of the Literature Commission. The classical philologist is co-director of the literary magazine "orte". She replaces Simone Ammann, who stepped down at the end of 2017. Since the departure of Claudine Metzger at the end of 2016, the Art Commission has only consisted of six members. Lucie Kolb has now been elected as an additional member. Kolb teaches at the Zurich University of the Arts and is co-editor of the art criticism magazine "Brand-New-Life".
