The Würth Philharmoniker were founded in 2017 on an initiative by Reinhold Würth and is an orchestra of the Reinhold Würth Musikstiftung gGmbH. The orchestra is the Orchestra in Residence of the Carmen Würth Forum in Künzelsau and another milestone in the cultural commitment of the Würth Group alongside its art activities. Claudio Vandelli has been the Principal Conductor of the Würth Philharmoniker since 2020.

Since their first appearance at the opening ceremony of the Carmen Würth Forum, the Würth Philharmoniker have been winning over audiences with a broad repertoire ranging from classical to contemporary compositions. With their powerful sound and nuanced interpretations, they bring music of exceptional quality to their home region of Hohenlohe, making them unique as a professional symphony orchestra in the region. In their still young biography, the Würth Philharmoniker has gained an excellent reputation in a very short time and welcomes numerous renowned artists at the stand and on stage in Künzelsau every season.

The Würth Philharmoniker has already made an international appearance in guest appearances at major concert halls around the world. They have performed at venues including the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, London’s Cadogan Hall, the National Concert Hall in Dublin, the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, the Liederhalle in Stuttgart and the Golden Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna.

The 2023/24 season of the Würth Philharmoniker again promises great concerts with internationally renowned soloists. Among others, the orchestra has succeeded in attracting Aida Garifullina, Diana Damrau and Nicolas Testé, Francesco Piemontesi, and once again Alban Gerhardt and Julian Prégardien. In addition to the Principal Conductor Claudio Vandelli, other renowned guest conductors are also frequently at the podium of the Würth Philharmoniker, including Anu Tali, Charles Dutoit, Jörg Widmann, Pavel Baleff and the First Guest Conductor Martin Panteleev.
