Mitteldeutsches Kammerorchester

The cradle of central German chamber orchestras lies in Weimar. The violinist Andreas Hartmann founded the ensemble in 1987 with students from the local Hochschule für Musik ‘Franz Liszt’ Weimar, in order to perform symphonic music from the 18th and 19th centuries as well as oratorical literature. Today the musicians from that time are sitting in leadership positions of top orchestras throughout the new Federal States in the eastern section of Germany. The orchestra’s concertmaster, Andreas Hartmann, holds a professorial chair for violin at the Hochschule für Musik ‘Franz Liszt’ in Weimar
