Amalia Nohl is an aspiring composer with a particular interest in film and theater music. Born on November 1, 2006, in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, she grew up with her parents and older sister in an environment that nurtured her creativity and love for music. Encouraged by her mother, who recognized her musical talent early on, Amalia has been deeply connected to music since childhood.
After completing primary school, she chose homeschooling to devote more time to her artistic and musical development. During this period, she focused especially on composition and participated in several creative projects, including the Composition Camp in Boswil (2021–2022) and the Student Manager Program at the Tonhalle Zürich (2023–2024).
In Boswil, Amalia composed original works that were performed in a final concert, gaining valuable insight into different compositional styles and approaches. At the Tonhalle Zürich, she worked as part of a five-member team to organize a concert — contributing to concept development, budgeting, lighting design, and taking responsibility for communication and social media. These experiences strengthened her ability to work creatively within a team and to manage musical projects professionally.
Amalia’s goal is to study Film and Theater Composition at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), where she hopes to further develop her compositional voice and create music that tells stories and deeply moves listeners.
In her free time, she enjoys traveling, visiting museums and concerts, climbing with friends, and cooking with passion. Curious and open-minded, she loves exploring ancient cultures, discovering new experiences, and continuously learning. She approaches her work with enthusiasm, independence, and a strong commitment to artistic growth.
