Silvio Wey marimba
Over the course of many years, Silvio Wey has developed into one of the finest marimba specialists in Switzerland. His outstanding interpretations, combining musicality and aestheticism, are a result of the virtuosity of his 4-Mallet technique.

In 2006 he completed his diploma with outstanding marks, and received a scholarship from the Axelle und Max Koch Foundation. Alongside his classical studies, he trained in Cuban percussion (Willy Kotun, Jazz School Lucerne) and drum-set (Erich Strasser, Lucerne).

With this ensemble he played additional concerts during the Swiss Drummer and Percussion Competition, sponsored by the Swiss Global Artistic Foundation. He has also performed on Swiss television.
In April 2007, Mr Wey performed with the percussion ensemble "Falsa" in Hirosaki, Japan. Falsa celebrates its 30-year anniversary in 2008 and consistently performs with outsanding musicians such as Keiko Abe and Bob Becker.
Mr Wey is very active as a marimba soloist. Alongside a busy concert schedule that includes exhibitions, readings and company or private events, he also plays in several chamber music ensembles, orchestras, conservatory concerts and diploma exams.

Zivkovic, Eric Sammut, Momoko Kamiya, Frederic Macarez and Jasmin Kolberg. He performed two duo concerts with Keiko Abe in Germany and also played a composition by Eric Sammut.
