The Scharoun Ensemble Berlin was founded in 1983 by members of the
Berliner Philharmoniker.[1] The group made its public debut with
Schubert's
Octet in F major D. 803.[2] The ensemble is named after architect
Hans Scharoun, designer of the
Berliner Philharmonie.[1][3] The permanent core of the ensemble is a standard octet comprising clarinet, horn, bassoon, two violins, viola, cello and double bass.[1] Since 2005, the annually Zermatt Festival is organized by and around the Scharoun Ensemble.[4]
