Looking back and ahead: Founded 125 years ago and dissolved in 2017, the Swiss Musicians' Association (Schweizerischer Tonkünstlerverein) played a pivotal role in shaping the country's contemporary music scene. An exhibition traces its impact through archival documents, photographs, and eyewitness accounts. It also introduces two new companion volumes by musicologists Thomas Gartmann, Doris Lanz, and Raphaël Sudan: "In the Eye of the Storm: The Swiss Musicians' Association 1975–2017" and "Musical Discourses after 1970" (both in German only). A discussion in German of the current state of contemporary music will follow.

Free admission!
