Comic book offers new insights into 19th-century choral life in Bern and Fribourg
The comic book “Three Swiss choristers in the 19th century”, the result of a collaboration between the cartoonist Julien Cachemaille and the musicologist Caiti Hauck, is now available!
Based on the CLEFNI research project, this comic book plunges you into the world of men’s choirs of the time, with patriotic songs, singing festivals and excursions to discover the beauty of Switzerland. Beyond the clichés, these three stories reveal not only the role played by these choirs in the political, social and cultural life of our country, but also how they contributed to the construction of modern Switzerland.
The comic book is available in French and German. You can download it free of charge in PDF format or order a printed version.
