| The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen
|
| The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen ranks among the world's leading chamber orchestras and appears internationally on prestigious concert stages in cities such as New York, Vienna and Paris as well as at major festivals like Salzburg and the Proms in London. The orchestra's stylistic range and high standard of playing are documented on numerous CD recordings with noted record companies. The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen generates the major part of its budget itself. Its structure is unique, since the musicians are also partners in the orchestra and thus are responsible not only for its artistic achievements but for its financial success as well.
