Clemens Schuldt is the winner of London’s Donatella Flick Conducting Competition in 2010. He studied the violin at the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Dusseldorf. He learned the conductor’s craft from Rudiger Bohn in Dusseldorf, Mark Stringer in Vienna, and Nicolas Pasquet in Weimar. As an assistant conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, he worked with Sir Colin Davis, Valery Gergiev, Daniel Harding, and Bernard Haitink; he managed the Discovery Orchestra Project.
Clemens Schuldt worked with the Philharmonia Orchestra (London), the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the Bamberg Symphony, the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and the German Philharmonic Orchestra of Bremen. He was in charge of chamber orchestras in Dusseldorf and Bonn. He directed opera productions in Gelsenkirchen, Mainz, Osnabruck and Innsbruck.
He has been the chief conductor of the Munich Chamber Orchestra since 2016. The orchestra musicians say that the maestro “views the score in a true chamber-music spirit” and they feel that they “entered realms where the conductor, musicians, and audience can all breathe as one.”
