Prussian Chamber Orchestra
Conductor: Jürgen Bruns
Harp: Sophia Warczak

Works by Mozart, Grieg, Strauss, Debussy, Karlowicz and others.
The playing of the Prussian Chamber Orchestra under Jürgen Bruns is characterized by liveliness and an unconditional will to express. In the opening concert you will experience works inspired by dance, which are entertaining and profound and are performed in the same way. Spirited, dreaming, solid, floating...
The Prussian Chamber Orchestra (PKO) was founded in 1994 as a young, innovative and flexible ensemble. The ensemble has its home in Prenzlau, in the heart of the Uckermark.
Just as the Uckermark sees itself as an antithesis to the metropolis of Berlin, the PKO sees itself as an agile and flexible counterpart to the region's large orchestras. The orchestra is a source of ideas and a cultural anchor point in the Uckermark and the state of Brandenburg.
At the start of the 2019/2020 season, Jürgen Bruns took over the artistic direction as Music Director and Chief Conductor of the ensemble.
The Prussian Chamber Orchestra is at home on international stages, regularly produces CDs and works regularly with broadcasters such as rbb and Deutschlandfunk Kultur. The twelve permanently employed musicians from six nations who form the core of the ensemble are soloists who have dedicated themselves to music together and perform at the highest level with an enormous stylistic diversity. For the repertoire with larger ensembles, the orchestra works together with a permanent core of freelance musicians.
In addition to the current concert programs, the PKO has increasingly made it its mission to musically support children and young people in daycare centers and schools, to pass on experiences in workshops, to win new venues and to constantly expand the space of its work.
It works closely with many choirs in the region. Choral symphonic concerts with choirs from neighboring Poland, the Uckermärkischer Konzertchor Prenzlau, the Singakademie Potsdam, the Berliner Oratorien-Chor and other choirs from Germany and abroad have become crowd-pullers.
