Benjamin Schmid is announced as Artistic Director of Musica Vitae from Autumn 2020 

3/10/2019

I am very happy to have an artist from the highest international level as our new Artistic Director. Benjamin Schmid is unique with his wide repertoire that covers everything from the classic masterpieces to contemporary music and jazz. With Benjamin’s outstanding knowledge and experience I am certain that he will continue to develop the orchestra and confirm Musica Vitae’s position as an ensemble of highest international level.”

I am very much looking forward to being Artistic Director of the Musica Vitae Chamber Orchestra in the heart of South Sweden as of October 2020. Working constantly with an outstanding Ensemble like Musica Vitae is a dream task in the life of a violinist, as specially designed String Orchestra repertoire will be our intense focus, with me being primus inter pares, leading and soloing throughout our Concerts. This wonderful group of excellent musicians is willing to go on a musical journey with me which will combine established Masterworks with unheard but equally rewarding composers such as Sabina Hank, Amanda Maier, Friedrich Gulda, Mauricio Sotelo, Josef Lanner or Mieczysław Weinberg. We can’t wait to captivate our audiences with the pure joy and rewarding necessity of reinventing and reinterpreting the best of nowadays music!”
