was founded in 1997 by violinists Andreas Reiner and Josef Kröner. The name is intended to illustrate the responsible, fiduciary handling of musical masterpieces.

With its principal conductor Enoch zu Guttenberg, the orchestra has performed at the Berlin Philharmonic, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Vienna Musikverein, New York’s Carnegie Hall, in London, Moscow, Beijing, Seoul, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires and other important music centres. Critics have particularly praised the orchestra’s unusually lively style, colourfulness and sound quality, as well as the chamber music-like freedom of its ensemble playing. Following the death of Enoch zu Guttenberg, KlangVerwaltung performs with renowned conductors such as Reinhard Goebel and Paul Mcchreesh, as well as younger generations such as Thomas Guggeis and Patrick Hahn. Of particular note is the orchestra’s formative collaboration with Kent Nagano, with whom it has enjoyed a special musical friendship for many years.
