Friedrich Tilegant, who had been a former student of
Paul Hindemith, established this chamber orchestra in 1950. This group of 14 musicians is a rarity
in that it is one of the only full-time chamber orchestras in Europe and it
has gained international following through its festival appearances and
world tours. Recording over
180 records and CDs on varies record labels it has appeared with artists
that include Maurice Andre, Frans Bruggen and Yehudi Menuhin. Recognition
for these recordings has come in the form of the Grand Prix du Disque, the
Monteverdi Prize and the Prox Artur Honegger. Following the death of Friedrich Tilegant in 1968 the
ensemble came under the leadership of Paul Angerer, followed by Vladislav
Czarnecki and now it’s current Music Director Sebastian Tewinkel.
