Louis Spohr Chamber Orchestra

The Louis Spohr Chamber Orchestra is dedicated not only to cultivating the tradition of a classical string orchestra but also to supporting young musicians.

With this mission in mind, Katalin Westermann (Violin), Wolfram Geiss (Cello), and Joachim Schwarz (Viola) —already members of the Kassel State Orchestra—founded the ensemble in October 2006. The orchestra is rooted in a democratic approach, where works are often prepared collaboratively and without a conductor.
