Kairos can be interpreted as the opportune moment or the right opportunity. This is how Charlotte Oelschlegel, Nina Paul, and Louise Engel felt when they established the Kairos Kollektiv in 2025. With their first project, the chamber orchestra will perform at the Detect Classic Festival and the kultur.farm Groß Pankow in August 2025.
Around 20 instrumentalists from all over Germany aged between 25 and 40 have come together under the Kairos Kollektiv. What they all have in common is that they were members of various elite music programmes in their youth: as musicians in renowned ensembles such as the Bundesjugendorchester and the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie, they performed with renowned artists in concert halls in Germany and abroad. Today, they work full-time in a variety of industries, but one thing has remained unchanged: their passion for playing music together.
