Already in his early twenties, Joseph Sieber, as founder and Artistic Director of Switzerland’s most visible Youth Orchestra (Zentralschweizer Jugendsinfonieorchester ZJSO) as well as of the internationally acclaimed music theater project “Verona 3000”, has brought together hundreds of young musicians and cultural figures from all over Switzerland, playing for thousands of audiences at home and abroad every year. His initial studies in piano, composition and music theory were followed by conducting studies at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester (UK), from which he graduated with high distinction, conducting the BBC Philharmonic in concert. In addition to his doctorate and assistant conductor position at Arizona State University, he will be Conducting Fellow at the Lucerne Festival and the Cabrillo Festival in the summer of 2023.
