Artist history:
The New Philharmonia of Cologne (Junge Philharmonie
Koeln) was founded in 1972. Its membership is mainly
composed of graduates of the most important German
conservatories who, upon finishing their studies, wish to
experience the reality of a practical musical life playing
chamber music and symphonic repertoire at a high level
before furthering their careers as soloists or as members
of full-time professional orchestras. In the last 25 years
the JPK Chamber Orchestra has given more than 5000
concerts with different programs and varying formats. In
Germany, is has realized 15 television programs and
made numerous recordings. Since 1978 it has made
itself well-known by its tours through most European
countries, especially France and Spain, countries where
it today enjoys the goodwill of numerous friends and
admirers.In 1989 the JPK's leaders decided to assemble
all participating members from past years, and create an
entirely independent Symphony Orchestra. The New
Philharmonia of Cologne gave its symphonic debut in
the most important concert halls in Germany during
January 1990 with outstanding success and without
private or governmental sponsorship. Since then both
the Chamber and Symphony Orchestras of the New
Philharmonia of Cologne work constantly during their
seasons (leaders of the symphonic group being the
members of the chamber orchestra), performing nearly
250 concerts per year taking place in all parts of the
world.#VOLKER HARTUNGwas born in Cologne. He
started his viola studies at the Cologne Conservatory
with Mr. G.Ruymen, continuing them with Ivan Galamian
and Margaret Pardee as well as studying conducting at
the Juilliard School of Music in New York City. He
furthered his studies at the Meadowmount Summer
School, New York State, with Joseph Gingold and
members of the Juilliard Quartet, finishing his studies
with Alan de Veritch at the California Institute of the Arts
in Los Angeles, California. He also studied conducting
with Andreas Brockmann and Sergiu Celibidache in
Germany.Since 1987 Mr. Hartung resides in Cologne
and has been the artistic director of the NEW
PHILHARMONIA OF COLOGNE, whose chief conductor
he is today. He already led this orchestra in several
extraordinarily successful tours throughout Europe
(Amsterdam Concertgebouw; Musikhalle Hamburg;
Philharmonie Cologne).THE NEW PHILHARMONIA OF
COLOGNE is essentially an orchestra composed of
soloists. Several times per year the ensemble is
expanded for symphonic concerts, which take place in
Europe's most important concert halls with constant
success. The programs of the chamber orchestra are
especially chosen to harmonize with the great acoustics
of the ancient churches and cathedrals, but are also
well-suited for playing in concert halls. These programs
are selected from different periods of music history,
mainly from the baroque, classical and romantic
periods.THE NEW PHILHARMONIA OF COLOGNE
works without any grants, subsidies or sponsorship of
any kind, and is thus solely dependant on the sympathy
and generosity of its audiences. Admitting that this
procedure is extraordinarily difficult and demands a great
idealism, one should also say that there is nearly no
greater satisfaction for the organizers as well as for the
musicians than the experience and reward of playing a
concert with music of the old masters for an enthusiastic
public. We are very glad to welcome you as our guests
tonight and we wish you a most rewarding musical
experience with our orchestra.
