About Daniel Müller-Schott
Daniel fell in love with classical music aged just five, influenced by his musically gifted mother, who was a harpsichord player and piano teacher. On the day of this special recital, he will spend the morning providing a masterclass for music students, being renowned for encouraging young people to develop their passion for classical music.
He not only performs cello concertos from the Baroque to the modern era but is keen to discover unknown works for the expansion of the cello repertoire through his own arrangements and collaboration with the composers of our time.
George Alexander Albrecht, Sir André Previn and Peter Ruzicka have dedicated cello concertos to him. The award-winning pianist Magdalena Ho will accompany Daniel. Daniel has been involved in the ‘Rhapsody in School’ project for many years and regularly gives master classes worldwide.
