- An array of soloistic activities since 1993 in opera (including Corpo in Cavallieris "Anima e Corpo", Guglielmo in "Così fan tutte", Henry in Kurt Weill's "Street Scene" (director: Werner Düggelin, choreography: Heinz Spoerli)) world premieres such as Beat Furrer's "Invocation" (Opera House Zurich/ Schiffbau; director: Christoph Marthaler), concerts and oratorio
- Collaboration with the directors Andreas Spörri, Marc Kissozcy, Jörg Ewald Dähler, Räto Tschupp, Michael Radulescu, Alois Koch and others

In addition to his affinity for occidental church music, Samuel Zünd additionally dedicates himself, with particular devotion, to the art of lieder singing.

- Lieder Evenings in Europe and the USA, with long-term duo partner Theresia Schmid (together with Gert u. Gisela Westphal (recitation); Othmar Schoeck Festival 2001, Tonhalle Zurich et al.) and Jeroen Sarphati (lieder CD "Wandern")

Since 1990, and with success, Samuel Zünd has implemented his close-harmony singing group "The Sam Singers" in the re-discovery of nostalgic evergreens, old Swiss pop and swing hits.
