Christoph Mauerhofer
comes from a musical family and studied organ at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts with Elisabeth Zawadke and P. Theo Flury OSB. Christoph Mauerhofer performed his master's concert in 2014 in the Einsiedeln monastery church, so this concert is also a return for him. He was then principal organist at the Catholic church in Olten for eight years, and in 2023 he will become the leading church musician in the Gösgen pastoral area. After many training courses and licenses, Christoph Mauerhofer became a co-pilot with Helvetic Airways in Zurich in 2023. Since then, "high-altitude flights" have probably taken on a new meaning. Be it at over 10,000 meters or while continuing to play the organ. And when time allows and inspiration strikes, he improvises and composes himself.
