The Jewish Chamber Orchestra Munich (JCOM) was founded in 2005 by Daniel Grossmann and has since developed a unique profile as a contemporary Jewish voice. The orchestra is internationally present on various concert stages and explores innovative paths to make Jewish contemporary culture vibrant, audible, and visible to everyone. This mission is carried out with a sense of purpose as the orchestra performs globally, including tours to Israel, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, North America, and China. In Germany, JCOM appears as an ambassador of Jewish culture and represents a diverse orchestra with musicians from over twenty countries, both Jewish and non-Jewish, primarily residing in Germany.

JCOM shines a light on forgotten Jewish composers and revitalizes former sites of Jewish life with lively culture. It regularly commissions works from emerging composers and maintains long-standing collaborations with cultural institutions in Munich. In recent years, JCOM has also gained recognition as a silent film orchestra through collaborations with ARTE at the Berlinale and the Flimmerkammer series at the Munich Kammerspiele.

Education and outreach projects are integral to the orchestra's profile, ranging from the concentration camp documentary film 'Nacht und Nebel' (F 1955, directed by Alain Resnais; music by Hanns Eisler) to accessible storytelling or animated film concerts for young children. In the 2018-19 season, around 120 children from diverse social and cultural backgrounds created a new production of Benjamin Britten's children's opera 'Noah's Flood' as part of a highly regarded support program initiated by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
