Fresh strength for the new year
Swissmedmusica welcomes a new secretary and invites to Symposium 2025 with exciting national and international guests.
Our secretary Tirza Vogel has asked us to relieve her of her secretarial duties. She has done excellent work for the Executive Committee and will continue to support us in certain tasks. At the Annual General Meeting, our members elected Céline Stocker-Aregger as their new committee member.
We are delighted to have found in her a perfectly qualified and highly motivated successor for the secretariat. Céline trained as a commercial employee. She has worked as a personnel assistant for several companies in Central Switzerland.
Today, she works as a personal development and professional integration coach - also for musicians.
Save the date: symposium 2025 on November 22 in Biel/Bienne
The Swissmedmusica 2025 symposium will take place on November 22 at the Salle Farel in Biel/Bienne. But we've already secured the support of some exciting presenters: Sara Ascenso, Pauline Gropp and Chiara Samatanga Enderle.
Sara is a pianist and works as a psychologist at the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) in Manchester. Her research focuses on positive pedagogy in conservatories. Pauline studied piano, singing and medicine in Cologne and Münster, and is researching stage personality. Chiara studied cello and psychology and researched "Mindwandering and Boredom in Classical Musicians". She teaches at the Bern University of the Arts.
