Chamber Orchestra of Basel
The primary focus of the orchestra's work is to bring together music old and new. The orchestra is also active in fostering music appreciation and education.
Activities
Musical theater.
A concert performed in schools.
During the 2018/19 season, the Kammerorchester Basel began collaborating with the “Kirschgarten”High School.
Rehearsals are held over a number of days in the school's Auditorium. All the rehearsals are open to students from chosen classes as well as to individual students.
In addition to this initiative, which provides new ways for musicians to meet and exchange, this year there is another hands-on, musical theater joint project – “Haydn reloaded” – the cornerstone of this kind of training.
The choir, consisting of high school teens between 15 and 19 years of age, is collaborating with the orchestra in order to create its musical scenes.
The Aim
The orchestra members have a passion for getting people excited about music outside of concert halls and facilitating inspiring encounters between young and old, regardless of their social and cultural backgrounds.
