Opening concert with the Prussian Chamber Orchestra Soloist: Marko Trivunović (accordion), conductor: Jürgen Bruns
The Prussian Chamber Orchestra has been opening the PUTBUS FESTSPIELE in its rousing way for many years. This time, conductor Jürgen Bruns has put together an unusual and exciting program with the promising accordion soloist Marko Trivunović.
The Prussian Chamber Orchestra (PKO) was founded in 1993 as a young, innovative and flexible ensemble. The ensemble is based in Prenzlau, in the heart of the Uckermark.
Just as the Uckermark sees itself as an antithesis to the metropolis of Berlin, the PKO sees itself as an agile and flexible counterpart to the region's major orchestras.
At the start of the 2019/2020 season, Jürgen Bruns took over the artistic direction as Music Director and Chief Conductor of the ensemble.
The Prussian Chamber Orchestra is at home on international stages, regularly produces CDs and works regularly with broadcasters such as rbb and Deutschlandfunk Kultur.
The twelve permanent musicians from seven nations who form the core of the ensemble are a dozen soloists who have dedicated themselves to music together and perform at the highest level with an enormous stylistic diversity.
