We are revolutionising the concert experience. Our music renders immigrant societies audible. The Bridges Kammerorchester brings diversity to the stage, the audience and the venues.
MoreThe Bridges Ensembles bring our transcultural sound to any location – from duo to quintet. The individual artistic identities of the ensemble members shape the repertoire.
MoreWe promote transcultural music education and empower children and young people with music theater and hands-on activities. We pass on our experience and expertise with transcultural music in workshops and in a university context.
MoreIn our community projects, (semi-) professional musicians can make music together with musicians from the Bridges Kammerorchester. We create a lively community in which the focus is on learning from each other and musical encounters.
More„When we listen to music, we feel that there is something above us. Something bigger than ourselves. Maybe we can’t describe it, maybe it doesn’t have a name. But we feel that it connects us all. The Bridges Kammerorchester lets us feel this connection not only through its wonderful, diverse, touching music, but also through the people who make this music. Through the message contained in its music. It’s a message that we all need.“
„The Bridges Kammerorchester impresses me because its approach is not only socio-politically contemporary, but also excellent, exciting and relevant as a genuine artistic innovation. Elsewhere, we often experience the attempt to find a ‘common denominator’ as an under-complex compromise. The Bridges Kammerorchester, on the other hand, expands the Central European musical spectrum in all dimensions and allows its listeners to discover an extraordinary diversity and experience its added value through their senses.“
„The Bridges Kammerorchester is the orchestra of our time. In the orchestra as well as in the ensembles, in education and community formats, the wonderful diversity of music can be experienced. The Bridges Kammerorchester makes clear what is possible in a post-migrant society: a new whole that is more than the sum of its parts. This makes the beauty of diversity audible.“
„The Bridges Kammerorchester engages with our society and seeks musical dialog. Playing together in different time signatures creates friction. Contemporary music that connects – with a lot of feeling.“
„The Bridges Kammerorchester is a great ambassador for our region. It not only brings together outstanding musicians, but also combines musical influences from all over the world to create a unique blend. Diversity enriches and inspires. The ensemble conveys this through music. Bridges could not be better suited to our times and our colorful region. I’m already looking forward to the next concert.“
„The Bridges Kammerorchester is exemplary and brings a new colour to the landscape of independent ensembles and orchestras with its very own projects and works. I admire the courage, perseverance, diversity and artistic message of this ensemble and hope that these wonderful musicians will inspire others throughout Germany and beyond to create a new whole from a wide variety of sounds and backgrounds.“
„The Bridges Kammerorchester epitomises what is good for music: curiosity and boundlessness. I admire the initiative and energy behind this valuable project. We are delighted to have the Bridges Kammerorchester as a regular guest at the Casals Forum.“
