Kremerata Baltica is a chamber orchestra consisting of young talented musicians from Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania). It was founded by Latvian violinist Gidon Kremer in 1997. Gidon Kremer is an artistic director of Kremerata Baltica.
Kremerata Baltica first appeared on stage of Austria’s Lockenhaus Chamber Music Festival and since then is well known for its energy and joy in playing. The orchestra was formed as an educational project with a long-term vision - a way of passing on Gidon Kremer’s rich artistic experience to younger colleagues from the Baltic States, at the same time promoting and inspiring the cultural life of the Baltics.
In few years the talented group of musicians has developed into one of the most prominent chamber orchestras in Europe. By Los Angeles Times they were described as "extraordinary young players ... [who] animate everything their bows touch.”
Kremerata Baltica performs around 70 concerts annually during tours throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Regular performances are held in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Japan, the United States of America, and other countries greatest halls like Carnegie Hall (USA), Schloss Neuhardenberg, Schloss Elmau, Philharmonie im Gasteig in Munich (Germany), Schloss Esterhazy, Lockenhaus, Musikverein (Austria), Rudolfinum (Czech Republic), the Royal Albert Hall (United Kingdom). During its career the orchestra visited many festivals - Salzburg Festival, Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, the Prague Spring, The Proms, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, etc. Kremerata Baltica also holds its own Festival in Sigulda, Latvia since 2003.
