Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra – The Soul of Music

With a name meaning the soul of music, Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra has signalled from the very first moments its deep commitment to performing and has become one of the most dynamically, prize-winning young ensembles active not only in their homeland, Hungary, but on international stages as well. They have received the prestigious title “National Youth Orchestra” for the years 2018-2020.

One of the tasks the orchestra cherishes is the music education of young generations, therefore it engages actively in promoting classical music through numerous concerts in cooperation with the Philharmonia Hungary.                                                                                                                                         The orchestra considers it its artistic duty to promote and perform contemporary Hungarian compositions, and many of modern pieces have not only been dedicated to the orchestra, but have made their way into the ensemble’s core repertoire as well. 

Since the first debut in 2010, the Orchestra has had over 180 successful concerts at renowned halls of Hungary, Germany, Austria, France, Italy and Spain. In 2011 they won the first prize at the V International Festival “Summa Cum Laude“ at the Golden Hall of Wiener Musikverein in Vienna with a standing ovation of jury and audience. A year later, the Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra became the first musical ensemble to which was awarded the Junior Prima Prize, the greatest Hungarian national award for young artists.

On the list of the prominent soloists the Orchestra has performed with, there are names such as Kristóf Baráti, István Várdai, Sir James Galway, Costas Cotsiolis, Giampaolo Bandini, Rita Kinka, János Rolla etc. In 2016, the Animae Musica Chamber Orchestra  has been invited to hold a serie of New Year concerts at Leipzig Gewandhaus, as well as at the Chamber Hall of the Berliner Philharmonie. 

Their ideal makes the sound of the European quality, cultivation of the precious Hungarian musical tradition and respect to the great international forerunners in the tireless search for new experiences.
