The Gürzenich Orchestra, firmly rooted in Cologne but open to the world, stands for pioneering interpretations, innovative programs and diverse offerings beyond the concert hall. We are one of Germany's leading orchestras in both concert and opera - and have a tradition that has made music history like no other. The orchestra was founded in 1827 by the Concert-Gesellschaft Köln, but its history can be traced back to medieval music-making in Cologne. We have been the orchestra of the city of Cologne since 1888 and delight more than 100,000 visitors in around 50 concerts per season in the Cologne Philharmonie. We also perform as the Cologne Opera Orchestra in around 160 performances each season.
Honorary conductors are Günter Wand (1946-1974) and Dmitrij Kitajenko. Gürzenich Chief Conductor and General Music Director of the City of Cologne is Andrés Orozco-Estrada.
