Bavarian Philharmonic Orchestra
For 27 years, the non-profit association Bayerische Philharmonie has been conceived and committed as a multinational and intergenerational institution. Its purpose is to promote musicians with the aim of teaching symphonic music-making and making music professionally. This also takes place in the sense of broad-based musical education and the promotion of young talent, among other things by supporting young talents with a special musical talent.
In connection with its artistic and educational program, it has always been of particular importance for the Bavarian Philharmonic Orchestra to dedicate itself equally to social commitment and thus cultivate a culture of social co-responsibility.

Chamber Orchestra of the Bavarian Philharmonic
The Chamber Orchestra of the Bavarian Philharmonic was founded in January 2008 from 16 outstanding members of the Junge Münchner Philharmonie and is thus the first professional orchestra of the Bavarian Philharmonic. The orchestra’s musical director is Mark Mast.

The impetus for founding this fifth ensemble of the association came from the opening of the Kemptner Stadttheater in October 2007, where these musicians were involved in providing the musical backdrop. Concerts have since taken the ensemble throughout Germany, Europe and Russia.
