Michael debuts with the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra

Winner of the 2015 Conducting Prize at the Annual Winter Festival in Campos do Jordão, Brazil, Michael returns to debut with the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra in a concert of Beethoven (Overture to "Egmont"), Haydn (Symphony no. 93), and Brahms (Haydn Variations) in August 2016.

The concert sits within a set of three weeks when Michael also served as assistant conductor to Markus Stenz and Giancarlo Guerrero for concerts ranging from Henze's 7th Symphony to Saint Saëns Cello Concertos.
