Details Coming Soon

Hans Pfitzner is known as a composer who earned his place in the music history of the early twentieth century as the creator of important stage works, and large-format choral ballads and cantatas and took his stand as a conservative antagonist over against nascent modernism in polemical writings. The fact, however, that Pfitzner also bequeathed to prosperity a remarkable, though not extensive, chamber oeuvre is hardly common knowledge. Benjamin Schmid was born in Vienna in 1968 and studied at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Vienna Academy of Music, and Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. His sensational success at the Yehudi Menuhin International Competition in Paris in 1985 brought him invitations to perform with prominent orchestras, among them the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. Claudius Tanski was born in Essen in 1959 and studied at the Folkwang Academy in Essen under Prof. Georg Stieglitz and Prof. Michael Deichmann during 1973-1978. His busy concert schedule has taken him through numerous European countries and as far as Southeast Asia.
