At the age of 18 Ben was a Concerto Finalist in the 2016 BBC Young Musician Competition.
He has worked with conductors James Gaffigan, Nicholas Collon, Mark Wigglesworth, Kristiina Poska, Radek Baborak, Andrew Gourlay and Jessica Cottis, and recorded the solo horn call from Wagner’s Siegfried with the Hallé Orchestra conducted by Sir Mark Elder.
Last autumn he made his debut with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sakari Oramo  and in 2022 will perform with the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall.
“Ben Goldscheider’s horn-playing alone is a joy”; BBC Music Magazine
The Goldscheider ensemble have known each other for many years through the National Youth Orchestra, Royal College of Music and through the profession, and have managed to marry the perfect duality of performing great music with great friends.   They will have their first concert this June at the Hertfordshire Festival of Music.
