Philharmonisches Orchester Altenburg-Gera
In 2001, six years after the fusion of the Landestheater Altenburg and the stages of the city of Gera to form the Theater Altenburg-Gera, the Landeskapelle Altenburg and the Philharmonic Orchestra Gera were also merged into one ensemble. The focus of the orchestra is in the rich musical tradition of Central Germany, works of composers persecuted by the Nazis, and the classics of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Premieres regularly supplement the repertoire. Radio broadcasts with MDR Figaro and Deutschlandradio Kultur provide for national recognition of the Philharmonic Orchestra Altenburg- Gera.
