Werner Meier: a passionate musician with many facets

Description

The 70th birthday that Werner Meier will celebrate in 2026 is an opportunity to highlight a man whose life has been centrally influenced by the arts. As a visual arts teacher at the cantonal school of Trogen for nearly forty years, he sharpened the sense of form and color in generations of students, encouraged the existing talent among many of them, and introduced them to art. His creative expertise - showcased through paintings, sketches, drawings, illustrations, and installations - has been and remains highly notable. Music also plays an important role in his life. As a section leader of the second violins of the Appenzell Chamber Orchestra, Werner Meier has been contributing for many years to enriching the classical music concert offerings, especially in rural areas. But he is also close to popular music, not just the music of Appenzell. His role as "Silvesterchlaus," which he passionately assumes for many years, further demonstrates his attachment to local customs.
