Dübendorfer Kammerorchester (Chamber Orchestra)

Conductor : Arthur H. Lilienthal

President: Andrea Kennel

Our orchestra usually rehearses on Tuesdays (outside of school vacations) at 8 pm in the Obere Mühle in Dübendorf.

Twice a year, the orchestra presents a new programme of classical music to the public for which we are always able to attract great soloists . The concerts, which are supported by the Kulturkommision Dübendorf, usually take place in the Kirche Wil in Dübendorf.

At the concerts we are joined by additional musicians (double bass, wind instruments) depending on the programme.

When the opportunity arises, further concerts are also held outside Dübendorf.

 

 

With a musically busy weekend and additional rehearsals, the orchestra tries to prepare optimally for a concert.

Good teamwork - important for harmonious music-making - is strengthened by meetings outside of rehearsals and occasional joint activities

In 1954, the Dübendorf Chamber Orchestra was founded by Samuel and Ernst Langmeier. The conductor was Theo Halter, who led the orchestra until 1980. After that, Hans Meister took over as conductor, soon alternating with Arthur H. Lilienthal. Since 1987, Arthur H. Lilienthal has been the complete musical director of the Dübendorf Chamber Orchestra.
