Brenner Andreas
(1972)
Biography
Andreas Brenner was raised in the canton of Thurgau. He studied the violoncello, music theory and conducting in Zurich, Berlin and Lucerne. He has taught music theory at the Hochschule Luzern - Musik since 2003 and has been head of the theory, composition and new music department there since 2007. He is employed as a conductor within and outside of the Hochschule Luzern – Musik: he directs the Central Switzerland Youth Philharmonic and the Hochschule Luzern – Musik Orchestra in two projects per academic year and additionally takes over the rehearsals for guest conductors (Peter Eötvös, Jonathan Nott and George Benjamin et al.). He conducts the youth chamber orchestra Intakt and central Switzerland's IGNM ensemble. He also makes appearances as a guest conductor, most recently with the Ensemble für Neue Musik Zürich and the Ensemble TaG.
As a composer, Andreas Brenner is orientated towards an aesthetic exemplarily realised in the images of constructive art. A development does not stand in the foreground of his self-contained, hermitic pieces; instead they convey in a labile static an unbounded ecstatic impression, which can be brought to the fore not only through moving repetitive patterns (as in Figures de Rêve), but also through meticulously calculated long phrases (as in Maimelodie).
