Hanover Chamber Orchestra

is one of the oldest German chamber orchestras and is very rich in tradition. Musical esprit coupled with technical perfection and an overwhelming enthusiasm for music are its trademarks.

The HANOVER CHAMBER ORCHESTRA - a pure string orchestra - was founded in 1964 and currently comprises 12 to 14 selected musicians, of whom many have received awards at various competitions and many also perform as soloists.

The HANNOVER CHAMBER ORCHESTRA is continuously putting in guest appearances at famous international festivals such as the "Lower Saxony Musical Days", "Sao Paulo Music Festival", "Londrina Music Festival", "the Braunschweig Chamber Music Event", "Flaniéres Musicals Reims" and the "Mosel Festival weeks".

Internationally famous soloists of the likes of Ivry Gitlis, Michala Petri, Sabine Meyer, Zakhar Bron and Sharon Kam work together regularly with HANOVER CHAMBER ORCHESTRA. more...

From 1964 to 1984 the HANNOVER CHAMBER ORCHESTRA gave guest performances in the most important musical centres in Germany and abroad. Amongst the ensemble´s highlights in this period were concert tours to Greece, France, Holland, Poland as well as Central America.

The international acclaim for the HANNOVER CHAMBER ORCHESTRA is highlighted by its numerous radio and CD recordings.

In 1989 Adam Kostecki Violin Professor at the Hannover University of Music and former student of David Oistrach and Boris Bielenkij - was appointed artistic director of the HANNOVER CHAMBER ORCHESTRA, which he completely reorganised.

Then in 1990 the Orchestra restarted its concert activities. Within two years the ensemble was regarded as a Chamber orchestra of international standing as reported by the press after its celebrated concert in Gourdon ("un concert remarquable") during the 1992 concert tour of France.

In subsequent years further concert tours of Holland, Spain, France, Italy, Brazil followed. They were cheered with as much enthusiasm by the audience as by the critics and praised with words as:

"...fascinating artistry in sound..." "...a brillant event..." "... perfect musicianship..."

"...absolutely compelling and full of wit and polish, this type of performance may be experienced nowhere else, except perhaps by Neville Marriner's London Academy..."

Further concert tours of Holland, Spain, France, Italy, Brasil and so on followed in subsequent years.

After its first concert tour to South America in 1998, the HANNOVER CHAMBER ORCHESTRA went for a second tour in October 2002. It gave fourteen concerts in Brazil and Uruguay which were crowned by great success.

For the years 2011 and 2012 concert tours to Brasil, France, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan are planned.

In 1980, the conductor Wojciech Rajski brought together some talented young string players to form the Polish Chamber Philharmonic. After some very diligent practice this string orchestra performed its debut at the Warsaw Philharmonic.

And shortly afterwards the orchestra immortalised its work in the recording studios and went on to give performances in Poland and other countries, which were highly acclaimed by the press. The ensemble was expanded from 1984 and since then performs also as a classic orchestra with wind instruments. more...

Rubinstein Trio

The RUBINSTEIN TRIO was formed in Lodz, Poland, in honour of the world famous pianist Arthur Rubinstein, a native of Lodz.

Since its founding, the Trio has had great success with the public and the international press. This is made possible by the high qualifications of the individual members.

The pianist Anna Wesolowska (studies in Vienna and Lodz), the violinist Adam Kostecki and the cellist Stanislaw Firlej (studies in Moscow with David Oistrach and Mstislav Rostropovich respectively) have individually concertized in America and most of Western Europe to rave reviews and also made several records.

Stanislaw Firlej, Anna Wesolowska and Adam Kostecki are professors at the Music Conservatory in Lodz or Hannover (Germany).

The RUBINSTEIN TRIO has concertized in Germany, Holland, France, Belgium, Spain, and Scandinavia. The complete trios of Schubert and Chopin have been recorded for the French firm "Le Chant du Monde".

Important music festivals such as Warsaw Fall, Holland Festival and La Chaise Dieu Festival (France) have engaged the RUBINSTEIN TRIO.

Paganini Duo

In 1984 Adam Kostecki and Carsten Petermann founded the PAGANINI DUO with the intention of making unjustly neglected works by Paganini for Violin and Guitar known to a wider public.

Their repertoire also includes other works originally written for this combination as well as transcriptions ranging from baroque to modern works (Wiener, Stepanek, Piazzolla).

Since 1985 the PAGANINI DUO has been performing regularly throughout Germany and Europe and have appeared at several music festivals (France, Austria, Spain, Luxembourg, Israel, Turkey).

Their recordings and CD productions show their high technical standard and musicality.

Unique in its artistic continuity it is the only Duo of its kind which over a period of of more than fifteen years has consistently performed with great success throughout Europe.
