Biographie
* 01. 09. 1965.
Franco Tosi studied in Lucerne under the tutelage of Gianbattista Sisini. Further studies led him to Basel and the concert class of Hans-Rudolf Stalder. The interpretation of new music then led him to attend courses headed by K. Huber and H.U. Lehmann. In 1989 he co-founded and directed the Ensemble Opus Novum Luzern which, until its breakup in 2002, received numerous commissions for compositions and frequently performed world premieres of works by chiefly Swiss composers; the ensemble was also invited to perform at Lucerne Festival in 1998.
Franco Tosi has been a member of the Basel Sinfonietta since 1990. Several works for clarinet solo have been composed and dedicated to him as a result of collaborations with such Swiss composers as T.K.J. Mejer and Mela Meierhans. Tosi performed regularly as the chamber musical partner of Hans-Heinz Schneeberger, Philippe Racine and Daniel Cholette within the framework of the 'Festival Bourdic' in France. Franco Tosi has been the music pedagogical director of the Reinach School of Music in canton Basel Land since 1998.
