Elsewhere he has also conducted La bohème for Teatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro and Teatro Verdi di Padova.

From a young age, Eduardo developed an interest in works by contemporary composers and during his studies he took part in courses with the visionary composer Karlheinz Stockhausen and attended the International Forum for Conductors at the Ferienkurse für Neue Musik in Darmstadt, where he had the chance to work closely with composers György Kurtág and Brian Ferneyhough. At the Zurich University of Arts he studied with Johannes Schlaefli.

Eduardo has worked with a number of top soloists, including Paul Lewis, Isabelle Faust, Augustin Hadelich, Richard Galliano, Cédric Tiberghien, Steven Osborne, Barnabas Kelemen and Sergei Krylov among others.

…“Everything is subject to the smooth sovereignty of the musical direction of Eduardo Strausser: he emphasizes all the details with the Staatsochester, so that brilliant accuracy goes hand in hand with an exhilarating zest for life. It didn’t take a minute for the audience to stand.”…
