The Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne (OCL), founded in 1942, is a beacon of classical music in the heart of Switzerland. With a longstanding tradition of excellence, the OCL has secured its place among Europe's most respected chamber orchestras. Under the directorship of various distinguished conductors over the decades, its repertoire has grown to encompass a wide range of musical periods and styles, from Baroque to contemporary works. The orchestra is renowned for its spirited and refined performances, particularly of classical and early romantic repertoire.

The OCL's discography reflects its versatility and its commitment to bringing both beloved classics and lesser-known masterpieces to a broader audience. Their recent releases showcase an affinity for the works of Mozart, including comprehensive recordings of his Violin Concertos and the ethereal Requiem in D minor, K. 626. Additionally, the orchestra does not shy away from exploring the wider sphere of orchestral music, as evidenced by their forays into American and English orchestral pieces, and the works of Bach and Vivaldi, among others. The ensemble's dedication to high-quality live and recorded performances continues to earn them international acclaim, and their concerts remain a cornerstone of cultural life in Lausanne and beyond.
