His recent solo engagements include concerto performances with the Royal Philharmonic, Kremerata BalticaGerman Radio Philharmonic Orchestras, NDR/Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra, Berlin Chamber Orchestra, Slovakian Radio Orchestra, MDR Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Russian/Polish State Orchestras.

Benedict is the artistic director and founder of the Koblenz International Music Festival - and currently performs on a 1680 Ruggeri Cello, on generous loan from Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben.
