The Munich Opera Horns are a professional brass ensemble from Munich . The ensemble consists of the horn section of the Bavarian State Orchestra and currently consists of nine musicians. The Munich Opera Horns regularly give concerts and have already recorded several records.
history
The horn section of the Bavarian State Orchestra can look back on a long history: the first horn players were employed at the Munich court orchestra as early as 1706. Since then, the horn group has participated in numerous world premieres of works that are now part of the standard repertoire, including Richard Wagner's Tristan und Isolde , Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg and Das Rheingold . In order to cultivate their own style and a homogeneous sound as well as to maintain musical traditions away from the orchestra pit as well as to be able to tread new artistic paths at the same time, the horn section of the Bavarian State Orchestra has been performing regularly since 2007 under the name Munich Opera Horns as Chamber music ensemble. The ensemble plays new arrangements of works from baroque to modern, and they also perform pieces by contemporary composers. Composers like Miroslav Srnka and Samy Moussa have already written works especially for the Munich Opera Horns .
