Founded in 2006 by Leonid Tritus, the Kammerphilharmonie Europa is an orchestra of talented young musicians from 18 countries, nine of which (seven strings, oboe, and trumpet) are coming on this tour to Ireland.

It is an orchestra with a focus on classical music that brings together committed musicians with the aim of forming an artistically demanding ensemble even without a permanent sponsorship.

Based at the gates of Cologne, they now employ over 60 professional musicians, who all look back on a sound education and a versatile stage experience at an international level.

The central motivation of their work is the claim to unite independently, especially with regard to the selection of repertoire and soloists.

In the 2022 season, the European Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra gave over 40 concerts worldwide.

Their musicians have performed in many prestigious concert halls and opera houses, including Civic Theatre, Dublin, Musikhuset Aarhus, Neumünster, Zürich, Conway Hall, London, Kulturkvarteret Kristianstad, The Hawth, Crawley, the Palladium, Malmö, and opening concert at the Vendsyssel Festival.
