Presenter: Münchener Kammerorchester
Renowned for its exceptionally creative programming and the homogeneity of timbre that can only come from a long history of making music together – over 65 years after its foundation in the aftermath of war the MKO is blazing a trail for orchestras in Germany and beyond. In the last few years, the orchestra has increased its subscription ticketholders by over, 50 percent, notwithstanding the ambitious content of its programs.
