Having just returned from a guest performance in the USA (Britten Violin Concerto with Naples Philharmonic as well as two jazz concerts with the Naples Philharmonic Jazz Orchestra), Benjamin Schmid is now preparing a tour with his chamber orchestra Musica Vitae in Sweden, with works by the contemporary Spanish composer Mauricio Sotelo, to whom Benjamin Schmid has dedicated several works in this program. After Sweden, the guest performance will also take them to Austria and Madrid; a city that will host Benjamin Schmid four times in the coming season, with violin concertos by Korngold, Sotelo, Sarasate and Szymanowski. A highlight at the end of the year will be the solo collaboration with Amichai Grosz (solo violist of the Berlin Philharmonic): under the baton of A. Zukerman and the GKO Ingolstadt, Mozart's famous Sinfonia concertante will be given, simultaneously with a video recording.
