Enjoy an international musical treat when the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne comes to Dorchester on Sunday (26).

They will play St Mary's Church at 7.30pm on the back of several successful European and overseas tours in 2017 and 2018.

The ensemble's motto is "classical music the world over” – this is the motto of the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne.

They aim to inspire as many people as possible across all generations to enjoy classical music.

A spokesman said: "The popularity of our ensemble is reflected in the fact that the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne gives around 300 concerts a year around the globe and listeners throughout the world look forward to a musical encounter with our exceptionally talented musicians."

Founded in Cologne, the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne has trained generations of musicians for many decades.

Since November 2009, the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne has a very special partner at their side – the Mercedes-Benz Centre in Cologne. As part of a creative cooperation, this world renowned company, via its branch in Cologne, thrilled by our musical concept provides the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne with a comfortable tour bus. It enables our musicians to travel quickly and comfortably to the many varied concert locations. In return, the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne, in close cooperation with the Mercedes-Benz Center Cologne, organises special concerts for the car company’s special customers. The remarkable construction of the Mercedes-Benz Center is transformed in the process into a really top-class concert palace.

Tourrs regularly take the orchestra to New Zealand, Australia, Spain, Great Britain, Ireland and many other countries - and of course to Germany.

The multifaceted composition of the ensemble provides every member of the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne with the opportunity to perform as a soloist.

The permanently expanding repertoire of the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne consists primarily of hand-picked pieces.

This sees familiar greats like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Vivaldi performed with works from people such as Sergei Prokofieff through to the King of Tango Astor Piazzolla.
