Thurgau promotes Fabian Ziegler
Once a year, Thurgau awards personal grants to artists from the canton who want to take their career a step further with a convincing project. This year, musician Fabian Ziegler is one of the recipients.
Percussionist Ziegler completed his studies at the Zurich University of the Arts in September 2019 with a Master of Arts in Music (Performance Soloist). In 2017, he won the Migros Culture Percentage Study Award for the second time since 2015 for his exceptional solo performance during the Instrumental Music Competition. In 2018 and 2020 he won the Kiefer-Hablitzel / Göhner Music Prize and was a semi-finalist at the International TROMP Percussion Competition in both years.
The Thurgau expert jury has selected the following six Thurgau artists from 50 applications: Hannes Brunner, visual artist, Zurich; Lea Frei, author and illustrator, St. Gallen; Michael Frei, filmmaker, Zurich; Sonja Lippuner, visual artist, Basel; Thi My Lien Nguyen, visual artist, Winterthur; Fabian Ziegler, musician, Matzingen.
