Groupe Lacroix

The formation of Groupe Lacroix goes back to a joint master class visit of the founding members to the Russian avant-garde composer Edison Denisov as part of the Lucerne Festival at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in summer 1993.

[3] In 1994 Marianne Schroeder from Basel, 1996 Michael Radanovics from Vienna and 2000 Alfons Karl Zwicker from St. Gallen joined in.

In 1999, guest composers were Marcel Wengler (Luxembourg) and in 2003 Thüring Bräm, who is also the organiser of the group.

Schroeder plays the music of John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Giacinto Scelsi, Galina Ustvolskaya, among others.

[3] International cooperation took place in Lucerne in 1993, in Moscow in 1995/96 (at the Moscow Alternativa Festival [de]), in Dublin, Blonay, Fribourg and Lucerne in 1997 and in Weggis and Leipzig in 1999] (at the MDR Musiksommer).
