Jürg Wyttenbach (1935-2021) was a Swiss composer, pianist and conductor, born in Bern and active for decades in Basel, where he died. A pupil of Sándor Veress, he wrote music that often turns the concert situation into theatre, partly influenced by Mauricio Kagel's instrumental theatre. As a conductor he gave first performances of a great many new works. Jürg Wyttenbach studied in Bern, Paris and Hannover, where he took his concert diploma in piano. He taught piano at the Musik-Akademie Basel from 1967.
