“Tradition” and “Innovation” – two bywords that in the international music scene have found expression in the Münchener Kammerorchester (Munich Chamber Orchestra). This orchestra, under the artistic leadership of Alexander Liebreich since 2006, has made wilful programming its trademark and has received international recognition for it. With its regular compositional premieres and presentation of contemporary music, brought into a conceptual balance with classical works, it has achieved a “successful balance between the cultivation of the traditional and the advocacy of contemporary music” that “sets new standards.” The MKO has as a result received many awards, among them the renowned “Musikpreis” from the City of Munich, the European Culture Award, the Award of the German Music Publishers and the Cannes International Classical Award (January 2002).

Duration: approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes, including one interval
