Biography
* 11. 11. 1917.

Julien-François Zbinden was born in Rolle in canton Waadt, Switzerland. Following studies in piano and subsequent studies in violin and voice he made his musical debut in 1938 as an orchestral pianist having been passionate about jazz from a very early age. He began composing as a so-called autodidact. From 1947 Zbinden was employed in the musical department of the Radio Suisse Romande and quickly moved into positions with a high level of responsibility. From 1973 until 1979 and from 1987 until 1991 he was president of the Swiss Society for the Rights of Authors of Musical Works (SUISA). A lifetime of composing has led to a catalogue consisting of more than one hundred works including operas, oratorio, symphonies, concertos, choral music, radio works, music for theatre and film, many of which have received international acclaim. Julien-François Zbinden is one of the contemporary Swiss composers whose works entertain a world-wide audience, with a great number of these works having been recorded.
