Michael Schneider (Vienna, Austria) Ensemble

Michael Schneider (*1990) comes from Salzburg, where he began his musical career at the Mozarteum with piano and voice and later continued (his academic training) at the MDW Vienna. There he completed IGP piano as well as orchestral and choral conducting and graduated with distinction in all studies.

He distinguishes himself not only as an outstanding choral conductor but also as a successful orchestral conductor. Concerts under his direction have been broadcast by Ö1 and ORF III, among others.

Thus, Michael Schneider took over concerts as a guest with the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra (RSO), Gdansk Philharmonic Orchestra, Vorarlberg Symphony Orchestra, Salzburg Baroque Orchestra, Bachchor Salzburg and the Vienna Singverein. In 2017, Michael Schneider was invited by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra to rehearse the choruses for Beethoven's 9th Symphony on their China tour as assistant to Philippe Jordan.

He is the artistic director of the Ensemble Interpunkt, which he founded and with which he has celebrated great successes in a very short time, including at Wien Modern and the Vienna Musikverein under the direction of Ivor Bolton and the Tonkünstler, the Collegium Vocale Solisten Ensemble and director of the Chorus Viennensis, a male choir consisting of former Vienna Boys' Choir members.

Since 2020, Michael Schneider has held a teaching position for choral conducting at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna.
