Kammerphilharmonie Mannheim (Chamber Orchestra)

Founded: 1995 - Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

The Kammerphilharmonie Mannheim was founded in 1995 by the cellist Gregor Herrmann and the violinist Jochen Steyer with the idea of working together with professional musicians who have a particular interest and, above all, enjoy orchestral and choral music.

In a very short time, the orchestra developed into a permanent fixture in the Rhine-Neckar Triangle, and numerous choirs and institutions engage the Kammerphilharmonie Mannheim on a regular basis. This was followed by the first radio recordings (SWR, SR) and CD recordings, as well as concert tours to Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy and Syria.

Since 2000, many of the musicians have also been involved in historical performance practice, and so it made sense to focus particularly on the Mannheim School (on classical instruments). Since 2003, the orchestra has been playing in 415, 430 Hz and modern tuning, just as the respective repertoire requires.

In January 2007, the Kammerphilharmonie Mannheim was honored at the Midem Classic Award in Cannes for the best first recording of 2006 with the recording of Michael Haydn's Requiem with the KammerChor Saarbrücken - published by Carus-Verlag.

The Kammerphilharmonie Mannheim does not organize events itself. The program therefore ranges from cantata services and oratorios to accompaniment by Roger Hodgson (Supertramp) and Paul Potts. The size of the cast therefore always depends on the wishes - and financial possibilities - of the respective organizer.
