Orchestra Berliner Musikfreunde
The Berliner Musikfreunde Orchestra was founded in 1866 as the Berlin Dilettanten Orchester Verein and is Berlin's oldest amateur orchestra.
In 1906 the New Orchestra Association joined the orchestra. The common orchestra was named Orchesterverein Berliner Musikfreunde . In 1919 the orchestra merged with the Berlin Orchestra Association in 1874/1882 to form the Orchestra Association of Berliner Musikfreunde . Game operations could be maintained until 1943. After the war, the orchestra with its current name was able to resume its concert activities in 1950. At that time, the fact that the extensive music fund had survived the war undamaged and that numerous orchestras - including the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra - borrowed music proved to be a great treasure . In 1966 the orchestra was awarded the Pro Musica plaque by Federal President Heinrich Lübke .
The soloists who played with the orchestra include Joseph Joachim , Mischa Elman , Rio Gebhardt , Daniel Gaede, Renaud Capuçon , Claudia Barainsky , Bogna Bartosz and Ji-Yeoun You . Sergiu Celibidache , who as a student took over the direction of the Berliner Musikfreunde Orchestra for some time (1941–1943), dedicated the composition "Daily Preliminary Exercises for Amateur Orchestras" to him.
