Although almost forgotten today, Ina Lohr played a significant role in Basels
20th-century musical world. In 1930, she became Paul Sachers musical
assistant, helping in the preparations for performances of the Basel Chamber
Orchestra, of which he was the director. Just three years later, she was one
of the courageous pioneers who under the direction of Paul Sacher founded the
now internationally renowned Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. As Ina Lohr was
instrumental in creating its program, her work indirectly had an enormous
impact on the Early Music Movement. Through her biography, we learn to see
Early Music within the complex cultural and religious matrix of her time,
forcing ourselves to transcend our own boundaries to understand her life.
