The Bremer Philharmoniker orchestra is one of the oldest orchestras in the world, with 200 years of existence. Its deep-rooted traditions and the variety of its artistic programmes make it an essential part of the culture in North West Germany. The orchestra has a wide repertoire that includes opera, chamber music and philharmonic concerts. In addition to performances, they host charity concerts and music workshops for both adults and children.
