Board of Directors

Music has played an important role for Heidi Gramatic since she was a child. Luckily, she always had teachers who were able to pass on her passion for music and playing the violin. After graduating from high school, Heidi studied violin and pedagogy with Eiko Furusawa (Zurich), Karen Turpie (Schaffhausen Conservatory) and Ulrich Gröner (Winterthur University of Music/Zurich). As a freelance musician, she played and continues to play in various orchestras in Switzerland. Since 2000 she has been teaching a violin class and string ensembles in Kreuzlingen/TG, and since 2020 also at the youth music school in Winterthur. It is very important to Heidi Gramatic to convey to children and young people the joy of music and making music and to accompany them on their way to being able to express themselves musically. The interaction encourages them a lot - it's the best motivation! In 2015, she and her husband, Ioan Gramatic, founded the “Spring Days Music Holidays” for children and young people, an orchestra camp that takes place annually in spring. She lives with her husband and their 3 children in Winterthur.
