The Chamber Philharmonia Cologne will perform some of the country’s best-loved classics at Christ Church Anglican Parish at 230 Koroit Street from 8pm.

Chamber Philharmonia Cologne representative Jens Kehling said a diverse program is planned, ranging from Antonio Vivaldi and his “tremendously famous” La Tempesta di Mare to J.S. Bach, Peter Tchaikovsky and Camille Saint-Saens.

Mr Kehling said the group loves to travel to Australia to perform.

“It is irrelevant for our musicians whether they are playing in a little village church, in the open air, in Cologne Cathedral or in the Sydney Opera House – their enthusiasm to play music is the same every time,” he said.

“The objective is simple, we want to inspire as many people as possible across all generations to enjoy classical music. 

“The popularity of our ensemble is reflected in the fact that the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne gives more than 300 concerts a year around the globe.”

Mr Kehling said the composition of the ensemble provides every member of the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne with the opportunity to perform as a soloist. 

“The permanently expanding repertoire of the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne consists primarily of hand-picked pieces,” he said. 

“The real appeal of our programme lies in the meeting of popular and unknown works from a wide variety of musical epochs.

This sees familiar greats like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Vivaldi in dialogue with works from people such as Sergei Prokofieff through to the “King of Tango” Astor Piazzolla. 

“This mix promises great diversity of the very highest order, without us having to preach to the audience in the process. After all, music is for entertainment and not for instruction.”

Mr Kehling said Cologne is famous throughout the world for its University of Music and its musical and instrumental teaching.

“Generations of musicians have been trained here who are unparalleled around the world,” he said. Tickets available at the door from 7pm.
