Kammerphilharmonie Metamorphosen Berlin
The Chamber Philharmonic Metamorphosen Berlin was founded by Indira Koch and Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt in 2010. Members of the Chamber Philharmonic are musicians from the leading Berlin orchestras, renowned chamber musicians and international prizewinners, including those of the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, the International ARD Competition and the German Music Competition. Since its founding, the Chamber Philharmonic Metamorphosen Berlin has performed in numerous concerts in Germany, Spain and Switzerland with famous soloists such as Johannes Moser, Gary Hoffman, Frans Helmerson, Julius Berger, Jens Peter Maintz and Young-Chang Cho. Metamorphosen Berlin has performed at the Berlin Music Festival and the Chamber Music Festival in the Great Hall of the Elbphilharmonie, among others. The ensemble has now launched its own concert series in the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Berlin Philharmonie and the Elbphilharmonie. In the next season, the Chamber Philharmonic will also tour Spain with Johannes Moser and Germany with Camille Thomas.
Metamorphosen Berlin has been committed to new works since its founding:
The Berlin composer Helmut Abel wrote his "Concertino" for the ensemble, which was premiered by Indira Koch and Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt as soloists. On November 16, 2017, the Chamber Philharmonic Metamorphosen Berlin premiered the double concerto "Lumiere" by Sören Nils Eichberg for 2 cellos with the soloists Frans Helmerson and Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt in the Konzerthaus Berlin on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the death of Mstislav Rostropovitch. George Alexander Albrecht wrote a double concerto for the two artistic directors, which will be premiered next season. This season, Metamorphosen Berlin was able to win the renowned composer Enjott Schneider as its first Composer in Residence. In March 2022, the world premiere of his work Requiem – About Insects & The Microbiotic World for string quartet and percussion took place at the Konzerthaus Berlin, followed in May 2022 by a major evening at the Philharmonie Berlin: Magic of Crime with Dietmar Wunder, the German voice of James Bond (aka Daniel Craig), as narrator and moderator.
In 2015, Sony Classical released the first CD, "Inspiration," with works by Dvorak, Suk and Victor Herbert. In April 2017, the second CD was released, with a recording of all of Peter Tchaikovsky's works for strings. These CD recordings have received excellent international reviews and have received awards including the Melómano de Oro. Last year, the latest recording, "Very British," with works by Elgar, Britten, Warlock and Jenkins, received the highest international critical acclaim. BBC Music Magazine, for example, wrote: "This is an album that should redefine what is means to be "very British." Hessischer Rundfunk describes the recording as "devoted sound culture at its finest!"

Junge Camerata Academica in Rhede
A review of the Junge Camerata Academica concert tour to Rhede
From June 17th to 19th, 2022, some children and young people from the Junge Camerata Academica, accompanied by Isabel Morey Suau, Neil Fellows and some parents, traveled to Rhede to give a benefit concert.
On Friday the journey began by train to Münster. From there we took a bus to Rhede, where our host families were already waiting for us. Everyone fortified themselves with the delicious finger food buffet and enjoyed cold drinks.
The next day, we rehearsed extensively in the morning and afternoon and prepared for the evening concert.
In between, everyone was invited to a large ice cream at a nearby ice cream parlor. With temperatures around 35 degrees, that felt pretty good!
In the evening, the children and young people played in front of a well-filled church and an enthusiastic audience. Everything went like clockwork and the Camerata was able to present itself at its best. We were proudly informed that the concert had raised 1,250 euros in donations for Ukraine Aid and Caritas.
The Camerata was also given gifts and donations! All the children received a pretty gingerbread heart as a thank you, a backpack full of food and drinks for the journey home, cuddly toys and a Rhede scarf, they were allowed to take home a large welcome sign and a treble clef with letters and generous donations hanging on it.
We would like to say a big thank you to the city of Rhede, the people of Rhede, the German Red Cross, Ms. Enck, the host families, the sponsors and supporters of the Young Camerata Academica for the generosity that we were able to experience in Rhede.
