Since 2009, he has been artistic director of the La Cetra Barockorchester & Vokalensemble Basel. In fact, his partnership with La Cetra Barockorchester Basel began back in 1999 with the ensemble's very first concert. Since then, he has led it from highlight to highlight with highly acclaimed productions of operas and ballets at the Theater Basel, as well as in international concert tours with stars such as Magdalena Kožená and Patricia Petibon. To mark the 25th anniversary, a new CD with Bach's Mass in B minor will be released in October. Anniversary concerts are held under the motto “Una festa barocca”, A weekend with La Cetra.
