FRANKFURT RADIO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Founded more than 80 years ago, the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra (hr-Sinfonieorchester), Germany’s third oldest radio orchestra, is among the leading and most versatile European orchestras today. With its broad repertoire, an impressive number of CDs and a wide range of concerts each year, the orchestra and its Chief Conductor Paavo Järvi have established an outstanding international reputation on renowned international stages including London (the Proms), Amsterdam (the Concertgebouw), Vienna, Salzburg, Paris, Budapest and Prague, and as far afield as Japan and China. Following a line of succession of great conductors including Hans Rosbaud, Dean Dixon, Eliahu Inbal and Hugh Wolff, Estonian Paavo Järvi has been Chief Conductor of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra since 2006, enriching it through his work with new and exciting repertoire in all styles and from all periods. This includes the boundary-crossing Music Discovery Project, participation in the Sir Georg Solti International Conductors’ Competition and numerous children and youth projects.
