CLAUDIO ABBADO "I would like to recommend this extraordinary orchestra warmly and with my whole heart and I hope that you will also contribute to securing its future." Interview with Claudio Abbado
KARIN BERGER "Classical music has meant very much to me in my life, and I would like to give something in return. I can do that with the MCO Foundation."
PROF. DR. H.C. ROLAND BERGER "With the music of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and many of the composers who followed after them, a period of European cultural history began in which the ideals of the Enlightenment and Humanism – human rights, dignity, freedom, solidarity – found and still find their most genuine artistic expression. The MCO, with its structure and its mentality, is particularly connected to these ideals, and that is why a sense of individual responsibility is required to keep this unique orchestra alive."
DR. JÖRG THIERFELDER (VICE CHAIRMAN) "Music has significantly changed the course of my life. I played with some of the current musicians of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra when I was young; even if our professions have taken us in different directions, we have remained connected. I am glad that I can support this unique ensemble today."
