Here’s to good cooperation!

We are very much looking forward to the collaboration with BRYGGEN – Bruges Strings, the Festival Strings Lucerne, the Munich Chamber Orchestra & Simone Menezes and the Ensemble K!

From its home port of Bruges, the string orchestra BRYGGEN boldly sets course for the north, along the routes of the Hanseatic League, all the way to Scandinavia and the Baltic States. In search of new sounds and connections with cultures from all over the world. With united forces, sometimes even against the current.

meditation, free, in the sun and under an open sky.”

The Festival Strings Lucerne have been setting off on musical adventures around the world from Lake Lucerne for almost 70 years – with a flexible ensemble size, the orchestra dedicates itself to repertoire ranging from baroque to contemporary music, in chamber music formations or symphonic ensembles. Daniel Dodds has been the artistic director since 2012.

With its varied concert programmes, which always combine the familiar and the new in an exciting way, the Munich Chamber Orchestra delights audiences worldwide with its special sound culture and its outstanding level of interpretation.

Simone Menezes explores the repertoire to create dialogues with contemporary society and develop projects of universal scope. In 2019, she founded an ensemble made up of a core of 14 strong and creative artistic personalities who share a cosmopolitan and curious vision. This is how Ensemble K was born, creating musical experiences that the term ‘concert’ does not adequately describe.

“Those who are open to new worlds of sound will have a lot to discover.”
