Die Paul Juon Gesellschaft (PJG) heisst Sie willkommen
“The missing link between Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky”
This is how a witty critic characterized the late-Romantic composer, Paul Juon.
Juon, who was of Swiss descent on his father’s side, was born in Moscow in 1872. From 1898 until 1934 he worked in Berlin, but spent his last years in Vevey on Lake Geneva, where he died in 1940.
Die PJG wurde am 7. Oktober 2022 in Appenzell gegründet als Nachfolgeorganisation der Internationalen Juon Gesellschaft, die sich im Mai 2022 aufgelöst hat.
The PJG aim is to promote Juon’s music at an international level by offering assistance in the organization of concerts in Switzerland and abroad, and in issuing recordings and new editions of his works. Moreover the IJG encourages and supports research relating to Paul Juon.
On this homepage you will find information about Juon, whose achievements as a composer are insufficiently known in the world of music even today.
Die Paul Juon Gesellschaft würde sich freuen, Sie zu ihren Mitgliedern zählen zu dürfen.
