A professional orchestra and interdisciplinary research groups (consisting of highly qualified scientists) have a lot in common. This does not only apply to their musical and scientific interaction, but also to how they deal with a changing environment in which basic funding continually decreases and other sources of financial support (in our case, third-party research funding from various donors) as well as the public image play an increasingly important role.

We look forward to discuss these issues with Albert Schmitt, former double bass player of “Die Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen” who has been the managing director of the orchestra for over twenty years.
