Edition of the Songs
Gion Antoni Derungs’ song creations are extraordinarily extensive and in terms of song genre very diverse. Even though there is an overview of all songs by Gion Antoni Derungs on the website www.gionantoniderungs.ch, a work edition which systematically lists all song sheets is missing. The many songs either exist on individual sheets of music or they are scattered over different songbooks. We deem it extremely important to organize these songs and to collect them in books. According to plan, four volumes with each 250 pages are to be published in 2015 for Gion Antoni Derungs’ 80th birthday.

Music-scenic biography by Armin BrunnerThe famous musician and conductor Armin Brunner, who for many years was also head of the department for music and theatre of the Swiss television, created a very special art form, which combines texts about the composer’s life with music from his works. This shows his musical development throughout his life. It is thus a suiting art form for our goal of bringing Gion Antoni Derungs closer to a large audience. These biographies will be presented in Vella GR, Lucern and Zurich as full-length events and in Bern and Constance in shortened versions right before the concerts.
