East-West Chamber Orchestra

The East-West Chamber Orchestra brings together soloists and leading orchestra players from Belarus, Czech Republic, France, Georgia, Germany, Estonia, Japan, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Ukraine and others in order to strengthen the bonds and cultural co-operations between Eastern- and Western Europe as well as all over the world. Founded 2015 as orchestra in-residence for the Yuri Bashmet International Music Festival, the Orchestra not only gets together during festival times but also for concerts during each concert season and projects touring Europe. The Orchestra understands itself as an ambassador for transnational collaboration, peace and cultural interaction across Europe and beyond.
