History

The sinfonietta Dresden emerged in 1994 from the Young Dresden Chamber Orchestra. [1]

The versatile ensemble performs works of choral symphonic and instrumental music from Baroque music to Neue Musik. [2] A large number of world premieres of works by contemporary composers such as Herman Berlinski, Matthias Drude  [ de ], Ludger Vollmer  [ de ], Karsten Gundermann, Dietrich Lohff  [ de ], Uwe Krause and Albrecht Menzel  [ de ] bear witness to the chamber orchestra's commitment to Neue Musik. [3]

The Sinfonietta Dresden frequently performs together with other ensembles, for example with the Singakademie Dresden  [ de ], the Dresdner Bachchor and the Dresdner Kreuzchor. The Sinfonietta Dresden also works with numerous other ensembles, such as the Kammerchor der Frauenkirche Dresden  [ de ], Meißner Kantorei 1961  [ de ] and the Dresdner Kapellknaben  [ de ]. [4] [5]

The Sinfonietta has also performed at important festivals. They performed at the Koblenz Mendelssohn Tage, the Dresdner Tage der zeitgenössischen Musik [6] and the Dresden Music Festivals. Productions with ZDF, MDR and the Bayerischer Rundfunk, as well as its own CD recordings, round off the chamber orchestra's work. [7]

The Sinfonietta Dresden is a member of the KlangNetz Dresden  [ de ]. [8]
