THEY give nearly 300 concerts all over the world every year, and next weekend it's Warwick's turn.

On Sunday, June 17 at St Mary's Catholic Church the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne from Germany will treat classical music lovers to its powerful new programme.

A spokesman for the group said it was irrelevant for their musicians whether they are playing in a little village church, in the open air, in Cologne Cathedral or in the Sydney Opera House - their enthusiasm to play music was the same every time.

"The objective is simple - we want to inspire as many people as possible across all generations to enjoy classical music," he said.

"The popularity of our ensemble is reflected in the fact that the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne gives around 300 concerts a year around the globe and listeners throughout the world look forward to a musical encounter with our exceptionally talented musicians."

The Chamber Philharmonia Cologne was founded in the city whose name they bear: Cologne.

The city that is famous throughout the world for its University of Music and its musical and instrumental teaching.

Generations of musicians have been trained here for many decades who, in terms of their musicality, are unparalleled around the world.

The group's spokesman said the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne was at home all over the world.

"Our tours regularly take us to New Zealand, Australia, Spain, Great Britain, Ireland and many other countries - and of course to Germany," he said.

"In this context, the selection of works and soloists takes on a special significance.

The multifaceted composition of the ensemble provides every member of the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne with the opportunity to perform as a soloist."

The group will play a selection of works from J.S. Bach, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi and Paganini.

The concert begins at 7pm and tickets are available from Vareity Music, 127 Palmerin St and at the door of the venue one hour prior to the event (cash only).
