The Orchestra

The “TT Orchestra” was founded in the summer of 2008 by members of Munich’s English-speaking community. The group took its name from a post on the Toytown (TT) online forum, which brought together the first four musicians.

The orchestra made its debut performance in July 2009 with just 22 instrumentalists. In 2011, the TT ensembles officially became ESME e.V. (English-Speaking Music Ensembles). Since then, the orchestra has more than doubled in size and now performs two major concerts each year at renowned Munich venues such as the Carl-Orff-Saal at the old Gasteig and the Münchner Künstlerhaus.

In addition to full-orchestra performances, our musicians have opportunities to shine in smaller chamber groups and as soloists at our annual Spring Showcase.

Our members come from a wide variety of countries, professions, and musical backgrounds. While many hail from English-speaking nations, over 30 nationalities are represented within our vibrant community—reflecting the truly international spirit of ESME e.V.
