Munich Chamber Orchestra

Renowned for its exceptionally creative programming and a homogeneity of timbre that can only come from seventy years of joint music making – the Münchener Kammerorchester (MKO) is blazing a trail for orchestras in Germany and beyond.

The core of the ensemble consists of twenty-eight string players, all full members of the MKO. In collaboration with a fixed pool of elite principal wind players from Europe’s leading orchestras, the MKO performs as a slender symphony orchestra with great versatility in terms of repertoire, style and structure.

MKO currently has <a href="spotify:artist:6Jwuqo6D63wloHjlMahYkG" data-name="Enrico Onofri">Enrico Onofri</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:7drHkRrCNABV4BkAuVF6nu" data-name="Jörg Widmann">Jörg Widmann</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:10ZELNDMHbzxPgebiwlWlr" data-name="Bas Wiegers">Bas Wiegers</a> as their Associate Conductors, in addition to guest conductors as well as unconducted projects lead by the orchestra’s concert masters <a href="spotify:artist:4KJA6AXzx2ZvOCuFnkYKcK" data-name="Yuki Kasai">Yuki Kasai</a> &amp; <a href="spotify:artist:6Ku7yG9h3BhAnIxCmHaF5p" data-name="Daniel Giglberger">Daniel Giglberger</a>
