Mannheim University Orchestra
We are a symphony orchestra of roughly 60 members consisting mainly of students from the University of Mannheim, but also students from other higher education institutions in Mannheim as well as working people from the region. Every semester we develop an exciting concert program, performing works from the First Viennese School (“Wiener Klassik”) to music from the 20th century.
You can also find us on Facebook and Instagram! Head on over and have a look.
