The Bayerische Kammerphilharmonie is a classical music ensemble based in Augsburg, Germany. The ensemble was founded in 1990 by a group of young musicians who shared a passion for chamber music and a desire to create a new kind of orchestra. The founding members included violinist Reinhard Goebel, cellist Christoph Marks, and oboist Alfredo Bernardini. From the beginning, the Bayerische Kammerphilharmonie set out to explore the rich repertoire of chamber music, from the Baroque era to the present day. The ensemble's focus on chamber music allowed for a more intimate and nuanced approach to classical music, with each musician playing a vital role in the ensemble's sound. Over the years, the Bayerische Kammerphilharmonie has grown in size and reputation, attracting some of the world's most talented musicians to its ranks. Today, the ensemble is made up of over 30 musicians, including string players, wind players, and percussionists.

One of the defining characteristics of the Bayerische Kammerphilharmonie is its commitment to exploring lesser-known works and composers.
