They distinguish themselves by their open mind and flexibility of repertoire and playing style. B’Rock combines established works of baroque composition with the lesser-known repertoire. The orchestra also pursues an innovative programme policy in which early and contemporary music meet and enrich each other. The combination with theatre, visual art or video also form part of the orchestra’s DNA.

The Bamberg Symphony has always enjoyed a special status in the music world. Over 7,000 concerts in more than 60 countries and 500 cities – with that record, the Bamberg Symphony is rightly considered THE German touring orchestra. In 1946 former members of Prague’s German Philharmonic founded the »Bamberger Tonkünstlerorchester«, later renamed »Bamberger Symphoniker«. The link with Prague’s Orchestra makes Bamberg the inheritor of a musical tradition stretching back to the 19th and even 18th Centuries, to Mahler and Mozart – 230 years of Bohemian sound.
