Joseph-Maurice Weder, Steinway Artist
"A wonderful musician with incredible technical mastery" Star cellist Gautier Capuçon
"In such a highly networked world, cultural exchange, personal experience and communication are essential. At my concerts where I performed Chopin, I always encountered huge interest in his music worldwide. People want to experience this music live and how it is interpreted by artists of the 21st century. It is particularly striking that Chopin's concert audiences also consist of young people, but people who do not regularly go to classical concerts are also more likely to find their way into the concert hall with Chopin's music. Conversations with them and with organizers about this fact have always been very inspiring for me. Joseph-Maurice Weder
The foundations for his international career were laid when he won the prestigious Swiss Ambassador's Award in London and made his recital debut at London's Wigmore Hall in 2013, and since then Swiss pianist Joseph-Maurice Weder has been attracting a great deal of attention from critics and audiences alike.
In recent seasons, he has performed in some of the world's most famous concert halls: Carnegie Hall in New York, Berlin Philharmonie, Musikverein Vienna, Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Wigmore Hall London, Tonhalle Zurich and Vienna Konzerthaus. He has also toured South America (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay), Europe (including England, Germany, Scotland, Italy, Wales, Spain, Norway, Switzerland, Romania, Malta) and Asia (Thailand, Philippines, Singapore).
As a sought-after soloist, he has given concerts with the Südwestdeutsche Philharmonie, the Kazakhstan Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra, the Basel Symphony Orchestra, the Chamber Orchestra of the City of Bratislava, the Orquestra Sinfônica do Teatro Nacional de Brasília, the State Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Dnipropetrovsk Philharmonic Orchestra, the Swiss Orchestra, the National Chamber Orchestra of Armenia and the Chamber Orchestra of the Bavarian Philharmonic, among others.
As an accomplished chamber musician, he has played with Gautier Capuçon, Nelson Goerner (four hands), Kian Soltani, Marc Bouchkov and leading members of the Berlin Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Munich Philharmonic, Staatskapelle Berlin, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Danish National Symphony Orchestra and the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich.
His discography includes an internationally acclaimed recording of the two Chopin piano concertos with the Berlin Camerata for the Oehmsclassics label. In 2007, a concert recording of Beethoven's 3rd Piano Concerto with the Chamber Orchestra of the City of Bratislava was released. "The London Recital", sonatas by Schubert and Brahms recorded live at the Wigmore Hall in London, has been online worldwide since fall 2016. His latest CD is dedicated to Liszt (Sonata in B minor) and Schumann (Kinderszenen) and was released on the MDG label.
In 2000, at the age of twelve, Joseph-Maurice Weder passed the entrance examination to the Basel University of Music and was taught there by Professor Adrian Oetiker until 2011 (Bachelor's degree with distinction). From 2011 to 2015, he studied with Professor Filippo Gamba (concert and soloist diploma with distinction), also at the Basel University of Music. He attended master classes with Dmitri Alexeev, Piotr Anderszewski, Louis Lortie, Prof. Gérard Wyss and Prof. Homero Francesch.
In addition to his concert activities, he is particularly interested in teaching; since mid-2017 he has been teaching piano as a major artistic subject at the Neue Kantonsschule Aarau (grammar school). As a guest professor, he has given masterclasses at at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, Universidad Nacional de Música in Lima, Komitas State Conservatory in Yerevan (Armenia), Universidad EAFIT in Medellín, "Instituto de Artes da Universidade Estadual Paulista" de São Paulo, Universidad Nacional de Música in Lima, Music Academy in Dnipropetrovsk (Ukraine), Fundación Musical Simon Bolivar ("EL SISTEMA") in Caracas (Venezuela), National University of Singapore (YST conservatory), National University of Music in Bucharest (Romania), Kazakh National University in Almaty (Kazakhstan) and University of the Philippines.
