Live and act

Schuler grew up in a family of musicians and began playing the violin at the age of seven. At the age of 16, she finished classical violin lessons because she was bored with playing according to sheet music. A year later she started playing the violin again because she had discovered improvisation for herself . Between 2008 and 2013 she studied jazz at the Bern University of the Arts with Andy Scherrer , Patrice Moret and Django Bates . She completed her master's degree from 2013 to 2015 in Aarhus, Stockholm and Helsinki.

Since then, Schuler has worked in Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Austria, Hungary and France. Between 2013 and 2016 she toured with the trio Aberratio Ictus (with Rea Dubach and Ronny Graupe ), with whom the album Ictus Irritus ( WhyPlayJazz 2015) was created. From 2014 to 2017 she ran her quintet Kronikor (album of the same name in 2018). As a solo violinist, she released her debut album Elements and Songs in 2016 on Veto Records; on the same label followed with her quartet (with Philipp Gropper , Hans-Peter Pfammatter and Lionel Friedli ) Metamorphosis (2020). As a co-leader she is active in the improvisation trio Esche , with whom she released two albums; she plays with Alfred Vogel and Ronny Graupe in the Trio Kwestia (album of the same name on Boomslang Records 2018). She also worked with Klas Nevrin, Stephan Urwyler , Elias Stemeseder , Luzius Schuler, Lisa Hoppe, Julian Sartorius , Silvan Jeger, Lukas Rutzen, Sebastian Strinning and Andrina Bollinger as well as with the rare orchestra ( Ins Blaue 2019).

In addition, Schuler composed and played several times live for dance productions. With Luzius Schuler and Nicola Habegger, she organized the Färbi-Jazzfest in Langenthal in 2018, which was aimed at a young audience. In December 2018 she won a work grant from the city of Bern.
