The foundations of the tyrolean chamber orchestra InnStrumenti
Prof. Dr. Franz Fischler
Patron
“It is an honour for me to be the patron of the Tyrolean Chamber Orchestra InnStrumenti, which was founded more than 25 years ago. InnStrumenti is now not only the second largest orchestra in Tyrol, but also the most active orchestra in the field of premières of orchestral works in Austria, which is why it can certainly be described as a cultural success story. Don’t miss out on the high-quality concerts and innovative ideas of the Tyrolean Chamber Orchestra and let’s continue to build bridges between people, generations, musical genres, artists and listeners together.”
Prof. Dr Franz Fischler, patron of the Tyrolean Chamber Orchestra Innstrumenti
