The Mahler Chamber Orchestra is a European-based professional touring chamber orchestra founded in 1997 by Claudio Abbado and former members of the Vienna-based Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra. The orchestra is governed by its musicians in collaboration with its managing office, and it has performed in more than 40 countries across five continents.
Hadelich first collaborated with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra in 2025, at the Easter Festival in Salzburg.
"I am very excited to join the Mahler Chamber Orchestra as an Artistic Partner!" Hadelich said in a statement. "Working with the MCO has been immensely rewarding. From our first notes together last year in Salzburg, I was impressed and inspired by their sound and musicianship. Our artistic partnership will start with a cycle of Mozart’s violin concertos, and continue with several tours. It will be an inspiring collaboration!"
The partnership will include a multi-year project starting in 2027 that will be made public later this spring, as well as other individual artistic projects co-created by Augustin Hadelich and the MCO.
The current conductor of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra is Daniel Harding, and other current Artistic Partners include pianists Mitsuko Uchida and Yuja Wang, and Artistic Partner for Immersive Experiences Henrik Oppermann.
"Augustin Hadelich is a profound artist and wonderfully compelling musician with whom the orchestra felt an immediate rapport," said MCO concertmaster and board member Matthew Truscott. "We are thrilled to be welcoming Augustin as an Artistic Partner and look forward with great excitement to our future collaborations."
