法比安．穆勒是瑞士最具代表性且多才多藝的作曲家之一。多年來，他的音樂吸引了國際聽眾，由David Zinman, Andris Nelsons, Sir Roger Norrington 等頂尖指揮演出，並由 Steven Isserlis, Dame Evelyn Glennie, Antonio Meneses 等知名獨奏家詮釋。他的作品曾在世界最著名的舞台上響起─從紐約卡內基音樂廳、漢堡易北愛樂廳，到柏林愛樂廳及蘇黎世音樂廳。

他職業生涯的重要時刻之一，歌劇《艾格峰》（EIGER）於2021/22樂季在瑞士首演。作品靈感來自首次的艾格峰北壁攀登，以扣人心弦的音樂歷程展開，深深打動了觀眾與評論界，被《盧塞恩報》盛讚為「瑞士的經典傑作」。

大提琴是穆勒最初的樂器，也貫穿了他多數的創作，特別是為妻子、大提琴家簡碧青所寫的作品。其中不少反映了他與臺灣（妻子的故鄉）的深厚情感，如《臺灣狂想曲》；以及他對亞洲傳統音樂的濃厚興趣，如以泰國傳說為題材的大提琴協奏曲《Sirimadi》，便是一部史詩般的巨作。

他的音樂錄製很廣泛，曾與愛樂管弦樂團、皇家愛樂樂團、蘇黎世室內管弦樂團等合作，並由ARS Produktion與Sony Classical等唱片品牌發行。

穆勒起初接受大提琴訓練，但很快將重心轉向作曲，先後在蘇黎世及美國進修。他曾榮獲無數獎項，包括Jacob Druckman管弦樂作品獎、蘇黎世文化獎（2006）、瑞士Zollikon藝術獎（2012）、瑞士音樂獎（2016）。他為陳慧玲導演的紀錄片《致阿嬤的一封信》譜寫的配樂，榮獲2021年法國兩大國際獨立影展（Les Rimbauds du Cinéma及SMR13）最佳原創音樂獎。2024年，他獲得德國知名Opus Klassik 音樂獎提名「年度作曲家」。

除了創作，穆勒也為瑞士的音樂遺產留下深遠影響。自 1991 年至 2002 年，他主導出版了龐大的一套十冊《Hanny Christen收藏集》，收錄超過一萬首19世紀旋律，如今已成為瑞士民間音樂研究與復興的重要基石。

Fabian Müller is one of Switzerland’s most distinguished and versatile composers. Over the years, his music has captivated international audiences, brought to life by leading conductors such as David Zinman, Andris Nelsons, and Sir Roger Norrington, and performed by celebrated soloists like Steven Isserlis, Dame Evelyn Glennie and Antonio Meneses. His compositions have resonated on some of the world’s most renowned stages – from Carnegie Hall in New York and the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg to the Berlin Philharmonie and the Tonhalle Zürich.

A defining moment in his career came with the opera EIGER, which premiered in Switzerland during the 2021/22 season. Inspired by the dramatic first ascent of the Eiger North Face, the work unfolded as a gripping musical experience that moved audiences and critics alike. It was hailed as "a Swiss masterpiece" (Luzerner Zeitung).

Müller's deep affinity for the cello – his own first instrument – runs through much of his work, particularly in pieces written for his wife, cellist Pi-Chin Chien. These include works that reflect his personal ties to Taiwan, her homeland, and a broader fascination with Asian musical traditions – as in his epic cello concerto "Sirimadi", based on a Thai legend.

His music has been widely recorded, including collaborations with the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Zurich Chamber Orchestra, appearing on labels such as ARS Produktion and Sony Classical.

After initially training as a cellist, Müller soon shifted his focus to composition, studying in Zurich and the United States. His work has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Jacob Druckman Award for Orchestral Composition, a Cultural Award of Zurich (2006), the Zollikon Art Prize (2012), and the Swiss Music Prize (2016). His film score for A Letter to A’ma by Hui-Ling Chen was awarded Best Original Music at two international independent film festivals in France (Les Rimbauds du Cinéma and SMR13, 2021). In 2024, he was nominated for the prestigious german award Opus Klassik as "Composer of the Year" .

Beyond composing, Müller has made a lasting mark on Swiss musical heritage. From 1991 to 2002, he led the monumental publication of the ten-volume Hanny Christen Collection, comprising over 10,000 19th-century melodies – today a cornerstone of Swiss folk music research and revival.
