He has also performed at festivals such as the Seefestspiele Mörbisch and in concert venues including the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, as well as in Tokyo and Hong Kong. As a concert singer, Schneider has appeared at prestigious venues like the Royal Albert Hall, Carnegie Hall, the Vienna Musikverein, Vienna Konzerthaus, Brucknerhaus Linz, Dresden Philharmonie, Radio France, and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. His concert repertoire includes Haydn’s The Creation, Schumann's Dichterliebe, Bach's St. John Passion, Mozart's Requiem, Verdi's Messa da Requiem, Berlioz’s Te Deum, and Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s Walpurgisnacht.
From 2016 to 2020, he taught solo singing at the Prayner Conservatory in Vienna, and since 2020 he has taught at the Franz Schubert Conservatory. In 2022, he also took on a teaching position at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (MDW). Since 2016, he has served as artistic director of the concert series Freunde der Operette in St. Pölten, and in 2018 he was appointed president of the music association Freunde der Operette.

Born in Wels, Schneider received his first musical training with the Vienna Boys’ Choir and studied with Prof. Elfriede Obrowsky in Vienna. In 1995, he joined the ensemble of the Wiesbaden State Theatre, and from 1997 to 2000, he was an ensemble member of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein Düsseldorf. His recordings include Alfred (Die Fledermaus) with Nightingale Classics, Stanislaus (Der Vogelhändler) for the Seefestspiele Mörbisch, and Marchese Sebastianini (Der lustige Krieg).
