GERMAN RADIO SAARBRÜCKEN-KAISERSLAUTERN PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA

The Deutsche Radio Philharmonie (DRP) is one of the largest radio symphony orchestras of the ARD, the German association of public service broadcasters. It plays a major role on the music scene in South West Germany, especially around its home sites in Saarbrücken and Kaiserslautern, as well as in nearby France and in Mannheim, Mainz and Karlsruhe. Recent tours include Poland, China and South Korea. Finnish conductor Pietari Inkinen has been chief conductor of the DRP since 2017.

In addition to music from the Classical and Romantic eras, the DRP’s repertoire focuses on the discovery or rediscovery of composers such as French-German symphonist Gouvy, the charismatic Polish composer Paderewski or Clement, Romberg and Eybler, who were contemporaries of Ludwig van Beethoven. The DRP also attaches great importance to new and contemporary music—Rolf Riehm, Philippe Manoury, Thierry Pécou and Jakub Sarwas have composed orchestral pieces commissioned by the DRP. Film music, live-to-picture concerts and classical/jazz crossover works also feature regularly in the orchestra’s programmes.
