The Collegia musica Chiemgau was formed in 2013 by Elke Burkert for the purpose of performing concerts for charity.
The musician body is mainly made up from professional musicians and a few very good amateurs from all over Germany as well as other countries.
Amongst others, their performers include musicians from the Philharmonic Orchestra Bad Reichenhall, Landestheater Coburg, Mozarteumorchester Salzburg, English Chamber Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Performers donate their services and only receive a re-imbursement of expenses.
The first concert of the ensemble took place on 9th Nov 2013 at St Nikolaus in Uebersee at the Chiemsee with overwhelming reception.
The orchestra consists of musicians of all ages and some from as many as 20 nations.
