Photo: Kaspar Ruoff<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>How different that choral sound was: fresher, more transparent, more modern! Certainly, back then\u2014in the late 1970s\u2014Zurich had a rich and thriving choral scene with accomplished conductors and a substantial repertoire. However, this scene changed only slightly. So what the Z\u00fcrcher Singkreis brought to the Engadiner Kantorei under Karl Scheuber\u2014often augmented by students from the K\u00fcsnacht Seminary, where Scheuber taught\u2014seemed innovative. There was a strong commitment to contemporary music. Younger composers also wrote for choir, and they found reliable performers here. Leading the way was the aforementioned Karl Scheuber, who hailed from the \u00abprovinces\u00bb of eastern Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>What made the difference? Perhaps the fact that Scheuber did not come from a background in church music and did not hold a position as an organist, as so many choir directors do. He operated less from a religious context than from a generally humanistic one. I remember a harrowing performance of Othmar Schoeck\u2019s anti-war piece <em>Drumbeats<\/em> under his direction at the Tonhalle. Choral music was, for him, a topic of current interest.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00abCarletto,\u00bb Destined for Greater Things\u00bb<\/h3>\n<p>Born on August 11, 1943, in Amriswil, Canton Thurgau, he grew up in Hefenhofen in a musical family; his siblings played instruments. That laid the foundation. Early on, a teacher predicted that Karl\u2014known as \u00abCarletto\u00bb\u2014would pursue a career in music. In Winterthur, Zurich, and Herford, he studied piano, school music, and church music: the ideal combination for later working as a choir director. In 1967, he founded the Zurich Singing Circle of the Engadiner Kantorei, which grew out of his work with the Laudinella St. Moritz. That laid the foundation for the performance of contemporary music.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abFrom the very beginning, I wanted to create a wide, diverse range of music\u2014centered on classical music, but covering a broad spectrum,\u00bb he later said. For this achievement alone, he earned the recognition that led to his being awarded the Golden Medal of Honor of the Canton of Zurich in 2001. In addition, he had served as artistic director of the \u00abMusikpodium der Stadt Z\u00fcrich\u00bb since 1989 and had taken on other responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abKarl Scheuber has played a major role in shaping Zurich\u2019s musical life in recent years,\u00bb the cantonal government stated in its rationale. He is \u00abnow one of the most highly regarded choral conductors in Switzerland.\u00bb He is a cultural ambassador in two senses: as a conductor who, in addition to well-known works, consistently introduces the audience to musical rarities and compositions by contemporary Swiss composers, but also as a music educator who is able to recognize the talent of aspiring school musicians, choristers, and conductors and is exceptionally skilled at honing their appreciation for vocal music.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Diversity, Commitment, and Originality<\/h3>\n<p>\u00abDiversity, commitment, and originality\u00bb characterized his artistic career. For him, however, \u00abdiversity\u00bb also refers to what we call \u00abdiversity\u00bb today. After experiencing a gay men\u2019s choir from Cologne at Christopher Street Day in Zurich, Karl Scheuber founded his own ensemble in 1990: the Zurich Gay Men\u2019s Choir, known as \u201cSchmaz,\u201d a pioneering ensemble.<\/p>\n<p>That was an initial spark with far-reaching consequences: What was originally planned to be two years at the helm of the choir turned into twenty-two\u2014a life\u2019s work\u2014and a formative one at that, for Scheuber made it a point that the choir not only perform in the clubs of the gay subculture but also in major concert halls, such as the Tonhalle in Zurich, as well as on major stages, on the radio, and on television. Sometimes a stir would go through the audience when the \u00abSchmaz\u00bb was unexpectedly announced. Such appearances were not yet commonplace, and they sometimes required courage on the part of the choristers. Yet they earned the choir respect and an audience\u2014a musical audience, that is\u2014because the choir\u2019s sound and repertoire were, in turn, refreshingly innovative.<\/p>\n<p>Directing the \u00abSchmaz\u00bb and the Zurich Singing Circle of the Engadiner Kantorei were two of Scheuber\u2019s main activities, but there is much more that could be mentioned. He served as an educator at the K\u00fcsnacht Teacher Training College and as a lecturer and department head at the Zurich University of the Arts. Many musicians speak of the inspiration and encouragement he gave them. He directed the vocal ensemble Cantapella, the Psychor, and the vocal ensemble Consonans, and provided coaching in choral conducting. In recent years, he directed the Sydef\u00e4deli retirement home choir and the Schwamendingen ecumenical senior choir. An active musical life. After suffering a stroke in January, he never fully recovered. Karl Scheuber passed away in Zurich on October 25.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karl Scheuber (1943\u20132026) was known to the general public as the director of the Zurich Gay Men\u2019s Choir.
