Thanks to the early lessons, Shmidheiser has been able to keep his musical fire alive, and whenever he gets an opportunity, will attend performances by his hometown’s local orchestra.

Hans Shmidheiser’s days as a former professional journalist would often be long and arduous. On many occasions, he would be traversing various locations in search of a good story, and thus not have as much time as he wished to keep healthy.
