Artist

Chadi Messmer | Studio Residency

Lebanon

After having participated in a lot of different musical projects, Chadi decided at the age of 21 to pursue a career as a professional musician and joined the Lucerne University of Applied Science and Arts. He completed his studies in Bachelor of Arts in Music  in 2017 and two years later in Master in Music Pedagogy.

Swiss with Lebanese roots, he’s passionate about music from the Middle East since he’s been a child. Therefore he aims to build bridges between Arabic and Western music. He created the band Menura in 2017 which is a binational Swiss/ Lebanese collaboration. Since then they have been performing and touring all around Lebanon and Switzerland. Chadi is a multifaceted electric and double bass player and also a composer. He regularly plays and tours with numerous bands all around Switzerland and Europe.
