Experience Orchestre de Chambre Fribourgeois live on August 30th

Orchestre de Chambre Fribourgeois (Fribourg Chamber Orchestra) is recognized for its interpretations of music from the Baroque to early Romantic periods, with a particular focus on composers like Bach, Handel, and Haydn. The ensemble is known for its historically informed performance practice and flexible instrumentation, adapting to the specific demands of each work. Founded in 1986, it regularly performs throughout Switzerland and internationally, often collaborating with renowned soloists.

The concert on August 30th, 2026 will take place at Schlosshof Laupen. This courtyard is situated within Laupen Castle, a well-preserved medieval castle dating back to the 13th century. The castle’s history reflects its strategic importance; it served as a county seat and was a key defensive structure controlling access through the Gäu region.

Schlosshof itself functions as an open-air venue during the warmer months, hosting cultural events like concerts and theatrical performances. Its architecture provides a unique acoustic setting due to the surrounding stone walls and open sky. The space is maintained by the municipality of Laupen and represents a significant part of the town's cultural heritage.
