Fabian Müller´s (*1964) works have been performed by great musicians of our time including David Zinman, Andris Nelsons, Sir Roger Norrington, Andrey Boreyko, Christopher Hogwood, Steven Isserlis, Dame Evelyn Glennie, Antonio Meneses and Henning Kraggerud, and they have been heard in the renowned Halls of the world such as Carnegie Hall in New York, the Elbphilharmonie, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Tonhalle Zurich, the KKL Luzern, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic or the Teatro Colón. He wrote commissioned works for the Lucerne Festival, the Interlaken Music Festival, Cully Classique or the Vestfold Festspillene in Norway and his works were performed at the Festival La Chaise Dieux in France, at the Aspen Music Festival in Colorado or at the Festival Internacional de Ushuaia in Argentina. His opera „EIGER“, which was premiered in the 2021/22 season and commissioned by the Theater Biel-Solothurn (TOBS) was enthusiastically received by the audience and the press ("A Swiss masterpiece“ Luzerner Zeitung - „…a rousing evening for all the senses.“ Der Bund. „The drama on the mountain gets under your skin.“ Bieler Tagblatt). An intensive collaboration connects him with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra ZKO, for which he wrote several commissioned works. Numerous works were written for cello, for his wife, the cellist Pi-Chin Chien, as well as for the cellist Antonio Meneses (double concerto «Dialogues Cellestes», Cello Sonata No. 2) and Steven Isserlis («Concerto per Klee»). Fabian Müller wrote his 2nd string quartet and 4th string quartet for the Carmina Quartet commissioned by the Pro Helvetia. CD recordings with the Philharmonia Orchestra (under David Zinman), the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London, the Zurich Chamber Orchestra or the Petersen Quartet Berlin (for col legno, Capriccio, Sony Classical, etc.) are evidence of his versatile work. Following his cello training at the Zurich Conservatory, Fabian Müller studied composition in Zurich and the USA, where he won the Jacob Druckman Award for Orchestral Composition in 1996. For his work to date he received a cultural award from the canton of Zurich in 2006 and the Zollikon Art Prize in 2012. In 2016 he was awarded a „Swiss Music Prize“ by the Swiss Federal Office of Culture. The music for the film „A Letter to A´ma“ by Hui-Ling Chen won two prizes for the best film music at the international independent film festivals „Les Rimbauds du Cinema“ and „SMR13“ in France in 2021. In addition to his work as a composer, Fabian Müller is particularly interested in ethnomusicology. He is regarded as one of the key pioneers and innovators of Swiss folk music. For ten years (1991 to 2002) he worked on the publication of the Hanny Christen Collection, a ten-volume folk music anthology with over 10,000 melodies from the 19th century.
