Roles: Director

Manuel von Sturler studied the trombone at the Music Academy of Neuchâtel and at the Jazz and Contemporary Music School in Lausanne.  He played regularly with artists such as the Philippe Lang Group, Malcolm Braff, Leon Francioli, Stéphane Blok, and composed music scores for theatre and stage performances.
