Hermann Abendroth established this orchestra in 1923 and
their first concerts were led by him in the Rhine Chamber Music Festival
and by Otto Klemperer in Bruhl Castle. The ensemble moved to Leverkusen
in 1926 after being taken over by Erich Kraak and in 1964 the leadership
went to current Artistic Director, Helmut Muller-Bruhl. He began collaboration with
international artists and took them on tours and since then they have made
television and radio appearances, made numerous recordings and toured Asia,
Europe and North and South America. Under the name Capella Clementina
they played on period instruments from 1976 to 1987 and since then they
have used their usual name of Cologne Chamber Orchestra and play pieces set
to the historical standard and practice, but on modern instruments. They have made several successful
recordings and won a Cannes Classical Award for Telemann's Darmstadt Overtures.
