Biography

Paul Sacher (28 April 1906 – 26 May 1999) was a Swiss conductor, patron and billionaire businessman. At the time of his death, Sacher was the majority shareholder of the Hoffmann-La Roche pharmaceutical company and was considered the third richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of US$13 billion. He founded and conducted the Basler Kammerorchester (1926–1987). He commissioned notable works by composers of the 20th century and premiered them with the chamber orchestra. While better known for his interest in new music, he was also devoted to music of the baroque and classical eras. He founded the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, an institute for early music, in 1933.
