about
The Brno Philharmonic Orchestra (Brno State Philharmonic Orchestra) has an illustrious history of music making, its beginnings dating back to the 1870s when its first predecessor, the Czech Symphony Orchestra, was established under the auspices of Leos Janacek and housed in the purpose-built Besedni dum, the present orchestra's magnificent home. Formed in 1956 after the merger of the Radio Orchestra and the Brno Region Symphony Orchestra, the Brno Philharmonic has long been regarded as one of the best orchestras in the Czech Republic. The Brno Philharmonic Orchestra has collaborated with a number of distinguished conductors. These include (in alphabetical order) Petre Altrichter (the orchestra's principal conductor since 2002), Karel Ancerl, Jiří Bělohlávek, Sir Charles Mackerras, Kurt Masur, Yehudi Menuhin, Václav Neumann, František Jílek, Libor Pešek, Arild Remmereit and Michel Swierczewski. The Brno Philharmonic Orchestra went on its first foreign tour in 1956 and has since given well over 700 concerts throughout Europe, as well as in the USA and the Far East. These have included appearances on some very prestigious occasions. In 2000, for example, the orchestra went to the Vatican and performed at a concert for the Pope to celebrate his eightieth birthday. In 2004, Toyota, the giant Japanese car manufacturer, selected the BPO from among orchestras all over the world to perform its annual "Toyota Classics" concert series, the Philharmonic playing in Singapore, Taiwan, Vi
