Joachim Raff (May 27, 1822 – June 24 or June 25, 1882) was a German-Swiss composer, teacher and pianist. He worked as Liszt's assistant at Weimar from 1850 to 1853, helping in the orchestration of several of Liszt's works. From 1878 he was the first Director of, and a teacher at, the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt, where he employed Clara Schumann and a number of other eminent musicians as teachers. His pupils there included Edward MacDowell and Alexander Ritter. Raff was very prolific, and by the end of his life was one of the best known German composers, though his work is largely forgotten today.

The Basler Madrigalisten were founded at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in 1978 by Fritz Näf. The ensemble specialises in the performance of early and contemporary music, and of historical music from all epochs, especially unjustly forgotten works. They have performed at the world’s most prestigious music festivals and toured in nearly every European country, in Russia, the USA, Lebanon and the Far East. The Basler Madrigalisten hasve received several awards, such as the 1982 German Gramophone Critics award. The ensemble has been under the direction of Raphael Immoos since 2013.
