From 1968 to 1988, he was the president of the Internationale Viola Gesellschaft. He was then elected honorary president.
Franz Zeyringer wrote Literatur für Viola, and his latest edition stands as one of the most comprehensive records of published music for the viola containing over 14,000 entries of compositions for the viola.
