This ensemble was founded in Leipzig,
Germany, in 1979 by
members of the Gewendhaus Orchestra and the conductor
Max Pommer. The name is taken
from the Collegium Musicum which was established by Georg Telemann in 1701 and led by Johann Sebastian Bach from
1729. He gave concerts in several
cafes in Leipzig and wrote many
vocal and orchestral works for them which included the "Coffee Cantata" BWV
211. It is known for its
interest in continuing the performances and sounds of historical
instruments and has looked at the possibilities for transferring this to
modern instrumentation. Recognised Bach specialists, it has performed numerous concerts
and have made many acclaimed recordings.
