Born in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, Furrer relocated to Vienna in 1975 to pursue studies with Roman Haubenstock-Ramati (composition) and Otmar Suitner (conducting) at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.

1985

In 1985 he co-founded what is now one of Europe's leading contemporary music ensembles, Klangforum Wien, which he still conducts.

1989

Since 1989, Furrer's main projects have been operatic.

Critics, however, have characterized Furrer's music theatre as dryly abstract rather than sensuous.

2014

Thus, for instance, Furrer's music theatre Violetter Schnee (2018/19) was described as monotonous or, in the words of critic Matthias Siehler, a "routine doomsday": "The more Furrer invokes the global climate catastrophe and failure of communication, the more his music sounds like mere paper."
