Cologne Chamber Orchestra replaces Israel Chamber Orchestra at the master concert

On December 14, 2024, the renowned Cologne Chamber Orchestra will replace the Israel Chamber Orchestra at the Bregenz master concert. The decision comes in response to the intensified location in the Middle East and the unexpected flight cancellations that make it impossible for the musicians of Israel Chamber Orchestra to travel to Bregenz. Fortunately, the Cologne Chamber Orchestra was won in a very short time for this special occasion, thanks to the quick commitment of the conductor Christoph Poppen, who was originally supposed to lead the Israeli ensemble.

The Cologne Chamber Orchestra, which was founded in 1923, is the oldest of its kind in Germany and stands for its warm string sound and a varied repertoire. In recent years, it has made numerous international appearances, including festivals in South Korea and the Netherlands. Christoph Poppen not only acts as Principal Guest Conductor, but will also design the concert according to plan.

The concert program remains unchanged and includes the overture for the opera "Le Nozze di Figaro" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the two piano concerts played by the soloists Sivan Silver and Gil Garburg. However, Aviya Kopelman's "New Piece" play is replaced by a work by the Israeli composer Betty Olivero. This adaptation illustrates the flexibility and quality for which the Cologne Chamber Orchestra is known.

The Kulturservice Bregenz is proud to have won such a top -class ensemble for the Bregenz master concerts at short notice. The expectations for this evening are high and one hopes for an unforgettable musical experience. The assembly of an excellent orchestra in such eventful times underlines the importance of culture and music as a connecting elements in our society.
