About us

Chamber Music Munich is a passion project, founded on the belief that Munich's chamber music scene deserves a proper digital home. Behind the website is Friedrich Weniger, a cellist from a musical family in which chamber music has always been part of life.

His grandfather played cello in several renowned ensembles and instilled the belief that close collaboration between a few musicians at the highest level is something special — an art form that neither orchestras nor soloists can replace, and that needs a space of its own.

Friedrich has been playing in Munich for over 15 years and is active in several orchestras. His particular commitment is to dedicated amateur chamber musicians: ensembles working seriously and with high artistic standards, without performing professionally.

It soon became clear how difficult it was to keep track of concerts, ensembles and programmes. Information was scattered and the scene remained invisible — that is precisely what this project aims to change.

Chamber Music Munich aims to make this scene visible: from established series and one-off projects to young ensembles beginning to build an audience. Organisers can submit concerts themselves for editorial review and publication, creating a lively, up-to-date picture of Munich's diverse chamber music scene.

Because chamber music deserves a proper voice.

Chamber Music Munich is a central platform for chamber music in the greater Munich area. Visitors can find current concert dates, ensembles, soloists and venues, along with detailed information on major chamber music works.

Whether string quartet, piano trio, wind ensemble or song recital, Chamber Music Munich brings concerts from different organisers together and highlights the region's varied musical life.

Musicians, ensembles, concert organisers and cultural institutions can present events, maintain artist profiles and publish structured programmes of classical works.

Visitors can conveniently search for concerts, composers, works, venues and performers. This creates a digital archive of Munich's chamber music scene, supporting both current event discovery and longer-term research.

The catalogue continually grows with information on composers, catalogues of works, instrumentation and concert programmes. Visitors can find concerts and discover the background to the works being performed.

Chamber Music Munich connects audiences, artists and organisers, raising the profile of chamber music in Munich and beyond.
