Bo Wiget

Bo Wiget is a Swiss cellist, composer, arranger and performer born in Wattwil in 1971 and based in Berlin. Trained as a classical cellist, he became interested in rock, jazz and improvisation in the late 1980s and subsequently developed an eclectic composition practice extending from contemporary chamber works to song, experimental music and sound for radio.

He has collaborated with musicians including Tetuzi Akiyama, Zeena Parkins, Iva Bittová, Lucas Niggli and Christian Weber. His work also includes theatre music and interdisciplinary performance with dancers, actors and artists, commissions for ensembles and choirs, and the performance duo Beide Messies. His projects frequently move between acoustic cello, composition and staged action.
