Ioan Gramatic was born in Bucharest, Romania. After completing his training as a violinist and violin teacher in Bucharest (University of the Arts), he continued his studies in Switzerland (Anne Bauer, Gyulla Stuller, Pierre Amoyal, Karen Turpie). He received important impulses as a musician and person from Igor Bezrodny (Moscow Conservatory of Music and Helsinki Music Academy). Further enriching moments were the encounters with great artists and educators of our time such as Paul Badura-Skoda, Igor Ozim, Sylvia Rosenberg, Franco Gulli, Ana Chumachenko, Detlef Hahn. As a winner of national and international competitions, he worked and continues to work as a soloist, chamber musician and concertmaster (including the Sinfonietta Bern, Neuenburg Symphony Orchestra, Neuenburg Chamber Orchestra, Zurich String Soloists, Zurich Symphonic Orchestra). For over 25 years, this activity has been supplemented by several apprenticeships in music institutions in Switzerland as well as the founding and management of several youth orchestras and youth music camps. He has been running his company Artes fine violins in Winterthur since 2012.
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.
Born in Joliette (Canada), Gabriel Mayer Hétu began playing the trumpet at the age of 18. In 2004 he decided to continue his music studies in Europe. This led him first to Lausanne and then to Bern, where he completed his master's degree in music at the University of the Arts. During and after his studies, he perfected his skills with Hans Gansch (Mozarteum Salzburg), Eric Aubier (Paris), Guillaume Jehl (Berlin Philharmonic) and Edward H. Tarr. As a co-founder of the Barocktrompeten Ensemble Ostschweiz, he has previously played in various modern and baroque ensembles and orchestras, including the Basel Symphony Orchestra, the Basel Chamber Orchestra, the Thurgau Chamber Orchestra and many others. His path also took him to Italy and France. From 2013 onwards he delved into orchestral conducting as part of a post-graduate course and has since devoted himself more and more to conducting. He attends master classes at home (Bernard Haitink, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Franco Cesarini) and abroad (Ruse Philharmonic and Sofia Academic Symphony Orchestra in Bulgaria). Since 2014 he has headed the Thurtal Regional Youth Music Association. He has also been conducting the Harmonie Eintracht Männedorf since January 2015, as well as the Stadtmusik Gossau from summer 2017 and the Stadtmusik Arbon from summer 2019.
