Between East Rock, Ballad and Timbre
Manuel Schmid has been the singer and keyboardist of the Stern-Combo Meißen since 2012 and stands for great melodies, lyrical German texts, and a distinct stage performance. His biography points to performances with nearly 120 concerts on tour in 2019 as well as the album Goals released in 2022, which received very good reviews and was featured as Album of the Week on MDR Sachsen.

A Duo with Fine Orchestration
Together with violinist Maike Virk, Schmid focuses on an arrangement that reinterprets East Rock classics and original songs. Their EP Heavenly Songs, released in April 2025, serves as the current reference point; piano and violin merge here into an expressive sound that highlights the power of the songs without overshadowing it.

The Right Space for Intimacy and Intensity
The werk3 / KlangWert is regarded as a compact music club with a visitor capacity of up to 70 people. This size creates the intimacy that a duo evening with voice and violin needs: concentrated, direct, and with a clear acoustic contour. ([miz.org](https://miz.org/de/institutionen/klangwert-i36071))
