Chamber concerts

Close up

Chamber concerts have a very individual charm, which not only lovers of this concert format have passionately succumbed to, but which has also captivated The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen’s members. Four times a year, audiences can enjoy this uniquely intensive experience in the form of their chamber music series featuring a rotating selection of musicians.

Summer in Lesmona

Cult-classic in the park

First class concerts, international guests, endearing traditions and an audience that lets itself be transported by this event’s unique atmosphere year after year. This is the sound of The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen’s annual classic open-air event; ›Summer in Lesmona‹ in Knoops Park – uniquely Bremen.

Community Opera

Great opera in OTe

This is truly unique; an entire district puts its own musical theatre production on the stage – together with a world class orchestra! A large opera tent nestled on the ›Green Hill‹ between the high-rise buildings of Osterholz-Tenever has already been the location for The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen’s performance of the ›Community Opera‹ seven times, each time featuring schoolchildren and teachers from Bremen East Comprehensive School (Gesamtschule Bremen-Ost) and helpers from the local community.

What is the Community Opera all about? The lives and stories of the community itself, where people from approximately 90 countries live. The motto, which has endured since the very first Community Opera in 2009, is ›you always have a choice‹.

Melody of Life

Songs from the community

The ›Melody of Life‹ takes place in the heart of the Osterholz-Tenever district. In this unique show series, the local comprehensive school pupils stand in the limelight to present their own songs on stage – accompanied by a world-class orchestra. The results are hugely diverse, often deeply touching and clearly show the power of music as an engine for the development of self-esteem.

Club 443 Hz

Great atmosphere in a club format

Art, music, theatre and culinary art – in Bremen’s most amazing club, an experimental, interdisciplinary experience awaits a convivial audience. Together with guests from the local community and from all over the world, pupils from the Bremen East Comprehensive School, their teachers and The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen present an evening full of surprises both on stage and at the heart of the audience.

Interval

Between the poles

Concerts which feel like a workshop and an audience ready to embrace unknown musical terrain and shifting instrumentation; the musicians of The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen are breaking new ground with their experimental concert series ›Interval‹. They are primarily concerned with the artistic freedom to open up musical spaces, to try things out, to experiment and explore in order to allow creativity to emerge – all far removed from traditional routine of concert convention.
