About Me

Marc Unternährer plays tuba in symphony halls and orchestra pits, in theatres of all sizes, in smoky jazz-bars and galleries in Switzerland and abroad (especially in Chicago, with friendly musicians), and from time to time at Swiss Buurezmorge as well as open air. He has won several prizes (that's how the connection to Chicago started!); after playing opera he usually misses improvising in small groups, after that first-performing of new compositions, then playing in Albin Brun's swiss folk band NAH-Trio, but he is glad that everything is possible at a given time. Every now and then he contributes to CD-productions (check www.munter.li). On his website you can also find out that he made his performance diploma in 2000 (with distinction even!) and currently teaches at the Musikhochschule Luzern.
