About
Gary
After many years as a symphony
violinist, Gary branched out
to form his own ensemble of musicians
to perform live at a variety
of
social and business events. Within
a short time he decided to not
only play, but also record with
the musicians he most enjoyed – all
world class performers.
Now a producer,
performer and recording artist
of multiple CDs, Gary has
created his own style, which is
a synthesis of classical, swing,
jazz, and romantic pop music. He
arranges full instrumental pieces
with strings, piano, guitar, French
horns, oboe, and of course, his
own solo violin work.
His recordings
with ensembles are instrumentals
of classic and popular,
often sentimental melodies. Most
have been recorded live in the
studio resulting in an engaging,
lush sound of concert hall quality.
Each performance, whether a romantic
wedding song, a holiday classic
or a contemporary favorite is crisp
and perfected.

Gary has been Concertmaster
(first chair violinist) with the
internationally
acclaimed Mantovani Orchestra,
and a titled member of the Rochester
Philharmonic Orchestra in New York.
In his native Dallas area, he was
Concertmaster of the Richardson
Symphony, and also a member of
the Fort Worth Symphony and the
Dallas Chamber Orchestra.
Gary
has also performed in back
up orchestras for such celebrated
singers as Andrea Bocelli,
Sarah
Brightman, Tony Bennett, Perry
Como, Roberta Flack, Chuck
Mangione, Toni Tennille, and others.
He
was trained as a classical musician,
holds a Master’s degree
from Yale School of Music,
and has spent
most of his professional life
as a classical violinist and
symphony
player. |
The New CD by
Gary Schnitzer
Announcing "Melodia" -
a recording of all original music
with a compelling symphonic sound.

A Classic Christmas
"Recently someone gave me a
CD with your music. The CD
they gave me was A Classic Christmas.
Even though I do not usually
play Christmas music this early,
I have
not ceased playing this one
CD all day long. It is so wonderful."
