Zakhar Bron Chamber Orchestra - The Orchestra of Soloists!
The legendary musician and educator Zakhar Bron regularly brings together great young talents to form a unique ensemble, the Zakhar Bron Chamber Orchestra. An interplay of perfection, dedication and passion. The top-class string orchestra is supplemented with around 20 wind instruments especially for Interlaken Classics. The over 50 young musicians form the Zakhar Bron Festival Orchestra!
Great young talents from all over the world, already in the middle of their solo careers, united to form a top-class string orchestra: most of the musicians in the Zakhar Bron Chamber Orchestra are winners of international competitions. Due to the successes and competition awards they have already achieved, many in the orchestra have the opportunity to play on very valuable instruments, which is unique for such a young orchestra.

In 2015 the orchestra made its debut in the Berlin Philharmonic, the Cologne Philharmonic and the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. In Interlaken the orchestra played with famous artists such as Sabine Meyer, David Garrett, Alice Sara Ott, Daniel Hope, Natalia Gutman, David Geringas, Maxim Vengerov, Mischa Maisky, Konstantin Lifschitz and Vadim Repin.

Zakhar Bron is an inspiring and moving violinist. In a variety of impressive CD recordings as well as in concert halls, listeners admire his flawless technique and his understanding of the most sensitive interpretations of the entire classical music literature. He was a prizewinner at the Reine Elisabeth Concours and the Wieniawski Competition.
Born in Kazakhstan and raised in Odessa, Zakhar Bron decided to support young talents after graduating from university in Moscow. Bron has lived and worked in Europe for over 30 years. Long-term stations included Lübeck, London, Rotterdam, Cologne and Zurich. Bron has been a German citizen for decades and has given up his Russian passport. He lives mainly in Cologne and also for longer periods in Switzerland, where he has a permanent residence permit. Prof. Zakhar Bron now teaches at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid and at the Zakhar Bron Academy in Interlaken, Switzerland.
