Salonorchester Cappuccino
German musical ensemble
The Salonorchester Cappuccino is an ensemble founded in Leipzig in 1989 and dedicated to the cultivation of salon music as a form of upmarket light music.
History
In 1989, some students at the University of Music and Theatre Leipzig got together to make music at a party. Their common fondness for salon and coffeehouse music kept them together longer, and together with one of their teachers they founded an ensemble dedicated to this genre. Because of the reference to the coffee house, they chose the name "Salonorchester Cappuccino". Its leader is the violinist Albrecht Winter.
After initially sporadic performances at private parties, public concerts soon followed and finally, from 1995, a regular concert series under the title "Das gibt's nur einmal" (There's only one time for that), named after the film hit by Werner Richard Heymann, which is heard at the end of each of these concerts. Initially, the concerts took place in the Alte Handelsbörse in Leipzig. Due to a lack of space, it became necessary to move to the Mendelssohn Hall of the Gewandhaus in 1999. In the meantime, the concert series, with six concerts per season, has become an integral part of the subscription programme of the Gewandhaus Leipzig. It had to be extended to two dates per concert due to strong demand.
