„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.“

 Konstantin Udert, Founder Detect Classic Festival

„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.“

Hadija Haruna-Oelker, journalist/author

„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.“

Prof. Dr. Meron Mendel, Director of the Bildungsstätte Anne Frank

„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.“

Kaweh Mansoori, Hessian Minister of Economics and Deputy Prime Minister

„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.“
