Clarinetist Reto Bieri is one of the world's top players of his instrument, associated for some years with the ECM label. He is also a noted educator and served as director of Switzerland's Davos Festival. In 2001, Bieri recorded an album of American clarinet music. His second recording, in 2008, was devoted to clarinet transcriptions of music by Schubert. In the 2010s, his career has continued to develop. He signed with the ECM label and released the solo album Contrechant in 2011. In 2014, Bieri became director of the Davos Festival -- Young Artists in Concert, and he has distinctively shaped the festival's programming. He returned in 2024 with the trio chamber recital Take 3, joining violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja and pianist Polina Leschenko.

Reto Bieri has also released music as a member of Ensemble Raro.
