Chamber Philharmonic Europe Orchestra

The Kammerphilharmonie Europa gives a guest performance in Chipping Sodbury for this very special concert. The ensemble is made up of some of the most talented young musicians from across Europe who tour and perform around the world with award-winning soloist Cyrill Gussaroff (trumpet).

Founded in 2006, the Kammerphilharmonie Europa is an independent orchestra with a focus on classical music that brings together committed musicians with the aim of forming an artistically demanding ensemble even without a permanent sponsorship.

Based just outside Cologne, we now employ over 60 talented professional musicians from currently 18 nations.

They all look back on a sound education and a wide range of stage experience on an international level. The central drive of their work is the claim to unite independently, especially with regard to the selection of repertoire and soloists.
