The Kammerorchester Basel, renowned for its masterful interpretations and dynamic performances, stands as a beacon of classical and early romantic repertoire in the heart of Europe. Founded in 1984 in Basel, Switzerland, this chamber orchestra has distinguished itself through its innovative programming and dedication to both historical performance practices and contemporary music. Their repertoire spans a broad array of works, from baroque to modern, with a particular emphasis on uncovering lesser-known compositions and bringing them into the concert hall. This commitment to exploration and excellence has garnered the ensemble critical acclaim and a loyal international following.

Over the years, the Kammerorchester Basel has embarked on numerous ambitious projects, including their acclaimed "Haydn 2032" series, aiming to perform and record all of Joseph Haydn's symphonies by the year 2032. Their recordings, such as "Haydn 2032, Vol. 15: La Reine" and "Haydn 2032, Vol. 14: L'impériale," alongside projects exploring works by composers like Giovanni Colonna, Giacomo Perti, Carlo Francesco Pollarolo, and Giuseppe Torelli, demonstrate the orchestra's versatile range and scholarly approach to music-making. Under the batons of leading conductors and in collaboration with esteemed soloists, the Kammerorchester Basel continues to push the boundaries of classical music, making it an indispensable fixture on the international music scene.
