orCHestra

Paul Wegman Taylor founded paul taylor orCHestra in 2007 together with exceptional young professional musicians and Swiss conservatory students with whom he had realized earlier projects. Already in 1995 in Berne, Paul formed the Mauritius Ensemble to produce classical projects of Haydn, Bach, Beethoven, Stravinsky. Proto orCHestra Projects in Zurich were 2005 the Broadway musical “Peter Pan”, and 2006 the children’s opera “Brundibar” by Hans Krasa.

The first orCHestra project as a core string orchestra tour with a cd production «Die Liebenden», (The Lovers), included works of John Adams, Jean Sibelius, and Arnold Schoenberg. Under the direction of Sirkka Varonen, four actors played or recited associated texts and original scenes.
