The Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin (Akamus) celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2022. Akamus was founded in 1982 in Berlin. Since its beginnings, it has become one of the world‘s leading chamber orchestras on period instruments. Whether in New York or Tokyo, London or Buenos Aires: Akamus plays regularly at the most important venues throughout Europe and internationally. Akamus has established itself as one of the pillars of Berlin‘s cultural scene, having had its own concert series at the Konzerthaus Berlin for more than 30 years and having collaborated with the Staatsoper Berlin on their Baroque repertoire since 1994. In addition, the ensemble has had its own concert series at Munich’s Prinzregententheater since 2012. As well as working with guest conductors, the orchestra is often directed from the leader‘s chair by one of its concert masters Bernhard Forck and Georg Kallweit. The ensemble has an especially close and enduring partnership with René Jacobs. Akamus‘ most fruitful cooperation with the RIAS Kammerchor has produced many award-winning recordings. In addition, the ensemble maintains close cooperation with the Bavarian Radio Chorus. Regular guests include soloists such as Isabelle Faust, Kit Armstrong, Anna Prohaska, Michael Volle and Bejun Mehta. Akamus’ recordings have won all important awards for classical albums. The orchestra has been honoured with the Telemann-Preis Magdeburg in 2006 and with the Bach Medaille Leipzig in 2014.
