Stuttgarter Kammerorchester

The Stuttgarter Kammerorchester (SKO) sees itself as a cultural institution with a dual role. The vision of the musicians and their two artistic leaders – Principal Conductor Thomas Zehetmair and Markus Korselt as Managing Director – is to preserve tradition while also setting standards for the future in terms of sound and programming. The rich repertoire spanning the centuries, from Baroque to composition commissions, also includes bold genre crossovers with pop, rock, jazz and electronic music. The SKO is constantly discovering new creative fields in the ever-changing area of digitisation, driving various projects and visions involving AI, holograms, robotics, animations, and much more. From 2024 to 2027, the SKO is going to record and perform all Beethoven symphonies with Thomas Zehetmair. Motivated by the desire to be more sustainable, the SKO has been committed to a climate-conscious cultural sector since 2022.
