The Swiss conductor, Hermann Müller, dounded the Berner Kammerorchester (BKO) in 1938 and directed it for 35 years. Under his direction the BKO premiered several works by the Swiss composer Franz Tischhauser (1921-2016): Feierabendmusik (Serenade) for string orchestra (1947); Amores, die Lesbiade des Catull, for tenor, trumpet, percussion and string instruments, with Ernst Haefliger (1956); Eve's Meditation on Love, nach Mark Twain, for soprano (Eva), tuba (Adam) and string orchestra, with Elisabeth Speiser (1972). After his age-related resignation, the BKO was under the direction of Jean-Pierre Moeckli (1973-1992). In 1949 he founded the Konstanzer Kammerchor as A-cappella choir. He was succeeded by Werner Idler (1953-1976). |
