BIOGRAPHY
Paula Haeni is part of a young movement of musicians who are pushing the boundaries of genre and exploring new paths. She engages intensively with electronic and contemporary music, combining these impressions with improvisation and performance elements, composing and creating installations. Paula Haeni primarily focuses on low clarinets, placing the bass and contrabass clarinets at the center of her work and exploring the possibilities of these unique instruments.
Contemporary and transdisciplinary projects are central to her work; she is a member of, among others, the latenz ensemble, the Insub Meta Orchestra, and Blau Salvatge. In addition to her freelance work, Paula La Loggia Haeni teaches at the Bern University of the Arts. She also organizes, supervises, and manages numerous projects. She spent the first half of 2024 in Paris on a studio grant from the Aargau Arts Council. In 2025, she was a grant recipient of the Swiss Cultural Foundation (SKK) and lived and worked in Belgrade for four months.
