Urs Schneider was born in St Gall and by the age of fifteen had established his own seventy-member orchestra, the Pro Musica Orchestra, which gave regular concerts in Switzerland until 1963. He was trained as a violinist at Zürich Conservatory, and took lessons in conducting with Rafael Kubelik in Lucerne, Igor Markevitch in Madrid and Otto Klemperer in London and Zürich. In 1962 he founded the Camerata Helvetica, of which he continued to be conductor and director until 1984. He has enjoyed a successful international career, with engagements throughout Europe, in Asia, Russia and North and South America.
