bayerische kammer philharmonie

Brief information

On their new album, which will be released in collaboration with BR Klassik and Avi Records in March 2026, the bayerische kammerphilharmonie will focus on the music of Mieczysław Weinberg.

The ensemble was founded by young musicians in Augsburg in 1990. It is characterised by the strong integration and artistic energy of each one of its members, as expressed in its expert playing without a conductor, and by its unusual concert programmes.

Since 2004 the bayerische kammerphilharmonie has organised its own concert series un·er·hört. These concerts are one of the highlights of Augsburg’s cultural life, and are received with tremendous enthusiasm. The ensemble has toured throughout Europe, the US, Brazil and recently to Korea.

Some 30 CD recordings by the orchestra are available from leading European labels, and have been the recipients of many prizes, including the Diapason d’or and the ECHO Klassik. In 2022 the orchestra released an album with the complete works for string orchestra by the Israeli composer Paul Ben-Haim on CAvi-music, wich received the OPUS Klassik in 2023.

Since 2018 the bayerische kammerphilharmonie has been increasingly involved in activities for young people. Several concert series for children or families and various interdisciplinary workshops for school teachers and their classes are presented under the label young bkp in conjunction with the educationalist Dr. Stefana Titeica.
