Two orchestras steeped in classical music heritage combine to form the celebrated Chamber Orchestra Vienna – Berlin, a unique refined classical sound that ranks among the very best in the world.
The orchestra was formed as a result of famed English conductor Sir Simon Rattle’s wish to conduct a common concert of the Vienna and Berlin philharmonic orchestras for his 50th birthday. So well-received was the experience that it had to be continued.
The orchestra represents the essence of their respective parent orchestras, and seeks to combine chamber music-like delicacy and symphonic force to achieve a unique creative exchange that enriches both the audiences and musicians.
Since its formation, the creative force behind the Chamber Orchestra Vienna – Berlin has been Rainer Honeck, a violinist and concert master of the Orchestra of the Vienna State Opera since 1984 and concert master of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra since 1992, who acts as its primarius and artistic director.
