Basle percussionist, composer and sound inventor Fritz Hauser is bringing his drum and percussion performance to audiences around the world. His idea-packed approach enables him to constantly create new soundscapes that are as surprising as they are unforgettable. His concert installations see traditional forms of music opened up for unlimited experiment. Complexity is combined with a light touch and a variety of styles, while humour and poetry unfold in special ways. The 2022 Swiss Music Prize-winner composes for solo percussion and groups, for chamber orchestras and choirs. Hauser is also well known in Zug, having created a piece for the Kunsthaus in 2013 entitled «Schraffurhaus Zug» and 2012 «Klanghaus Zug».
Three different venues in Zug – the City Church, the Theater Casino and the Schaudepot/Kunsthaus Zug will host pop-up concerts by and with Fritz Hauser and his fellow musicians.
