About Us

The Bridges Kammerorchester -- The composing orchestra from Frankfurt am Main -- has been a unique ensemble in Europe since 2019, bringing together musicians with their instruments from various regions of the world. The orchestra members are experts in music from diverse cultural contexts. Drawing from their varied personalities, the musicians compose and arrange a large portion of their orchestral repertoire themselves, resulting in transcultural music. The Bridges Kammerorchester makes immigration societies audible and, as an international role model, combines artistic excellence with social impact. The Bridges Kammerorchester performs throughout Germany at renowned venues, including: Alte Oper Frankfurt, Casals Forum Kronberg, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Gewandhaus Leipzig. The Bridges Kammerorchester transfers its many years of expertise in transcultural performance practice and working methods into a diverse music education program for children, young people, and families.
