THE FRANZ SCHMIDT PROJECT

The Franz Schmidt Project is a far reaching project to perform and promote the music of Franz Schmidt.

The Franz Schmidt Project has been set up by conductor Jonathan Berman to record all four of Schmidt’s symphonies with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and which will form the backbone of The Franz Schmidt Project  leading to the composer's 150th Birthday in 2024.

This page will post occasional updates on the project - so stay tuned !
