New Court Orchestra Osnabrück
Music, music and more music! This passion was the sole motivation for some enthusiastic amateurs to found the Osnabrücker Musikfreunde orchestra in 1986. Their common goal: to develop orchestral works at a high level. To this day, talented musicians from all generations come together in regular rehearsals. The broad age spectrum - from school age to retirement age - has always been seen as an advantage and an opportunity: The younger ones learn from the experienced old hands, but at the same time always bring new vigour to the group. Reinmar Neuner is the director.
