The shared artistic visions and impressions of the social upheavals in Berlin inspired Jürgen Bruns and his musician friends to establish the Kammersymphonie in 1991. The ensemble's first programme focused on scarcely performed and rarely heard works of classical modernism. Highly motivated musicians from the Berlin orchestras and the so-called Freie played Honegger, Schreker and Milhaud together. The ensemble's first milestone was a concert with Jean Francaix at the Berlin Philharmonie in 1993.
Curiosity about the unknown and the constant search for innovative programme ideas broaden the musical spectrum. These include ostracised music, stage music for the Deutsches Theater, film music and crossover projects.
The classical repertoire is also continuously explored musically. The Kammersymphonie has accompanied Berlin choirs in masses, oratorios and choral concerts for more than 20 years as a high-quality partner.
The orchestra regularly tours Europe and Asia. In addition to a large number of CD releases, the orchestra has long-standing collaborations with various radio stations.
