The Chursächsische Capelle Leipzig is a chamber orchestra founded in Saxony in 1994 by Anne Schumann.
The Chursächsische Capelle Leipzig was founded in 1994 from members of the Gewandhausorchester, the Händelfestspielorchester Halle (Saale) and freelance musicians.
In the style of the old Hofkapellen, the ensemble changes instrumentation depending on the programme.
The Chursächsische Capelle Leipzig is a regular guest at the Bosehaus Leipzig, the Handel House and the Palais im Großen Garten [de], and gives concerts among others at the MDR Musiksommer, the Bachfest Leipzig, the Uckermärkischen Musikwochen, the Magdeburg Sonntagsmusiken and the Walkenrieder Kreuzgangkonzertes.
[2] In 1996, the Chursächsische Capelle Leipzig recorded a CD chamber music of the Bach family with Ludger Rémy; in the meantime, further CD recordings are on the market.
