Daniel Müller-Schott performs with great passion not only the great cello concertos from the baroque to the modern.

The discovery of unknown works, the expansion of the cello repertoire, for example through his own arrangements, as well as the collaboration with the composers of our time, also have a permanent place in his concerts. George Alexander Albrecht, Sir André Previn and Peter Ruzicka have dedicated Cello Concertos to him.

To create a higher intensity of perception between music, visual arts and literature is Daniel Müller-Schott’s artistic credo. He often writes and gives introductions about the background of the music and the composers. At his festival in Vevey, Daniel Müller-Schott initiated for the first time a Bach project with dance for a visual realization of the music. The cellist developed a great affinity for the fine arts, particularly for 19th-century French painting.
