Trio III-VII-XII
Mischa Käser projects

Urs Haenggli (recorders and div.)
Mischa Käser (voice and div.)
Daniel Studer (b)

For 25 years, we have been exploring and interweaving diverse musical possibilities. We improvise, develop concepts, transform improvisations into structured works or compositions, invite guest musicians to join us, and commission new compositions (Annette Schmucki, Urban Mäder, Jacques Demierre, U.P. Schneider, Alfred Zimmerlin). Over the years, numerous cross-disciplinary programs have emerged—combining music with dance, film, and, above all, language (Franz Kafka, Ernst Jandl, Gerhard Rühm).
Since 2002, Mischa Käser has repeatedly involved the trio in his large-scale music-theatrical projects.

In 2026, we will celebrate our 25th anniversary with compositions by Ursina Braun and Rooland Moser, as well as with concepts and improvisations from our trio.
Concerts in Zurich, Basel, Lucerne-Kriens and others
