From his experience as a music educator, global nomad and family father, Laubacher finds his path where he is at any given moment of inspiration.

Daniel Laubacher makes his home in Muri bei Bern, Switzerland. He received his B.A., M.A., Ph.D. in music composition from the University of California, Santa Barbara where he studied composition with Peter Racine Fricker and Emma Lou Diemer and conducing with Varujan Kojian. In addition, he studied with composer Alfred Uhl at the University of Music in Vienna. Part of his dissertation was dedicated to the life and music of the Viennese composer.

A creative music educator, Daniel Laubacher has more than a decade of experience working with children and young people between the ages of 4 and 18 in the international school environment. He lectures a wide variety of music courses (i.e., Vienna composers, music appreciation, theory, counterpoint, survey of opera, conducting, etc.) regularly in Vienna Study Abroad Programmes. He has set up music departments for international schools, founded and conducted orchestras in Vienna, London and Kuwait, and he has organised dozens of performances from school productions to large benefit concerts.

With the hopes of sounding "new" and "fresh", I aim to compose music which is melodious, clear in structure and accessible for the listener yet challenging and satisfying for the performer. While continuously seeking new resources, I have no problem with referring to music of previous eras as well as drawing ideas from a variety of stylistic directions.
