SOUTH AFRICAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION NATIONAL SO
South African Broadcasting Corporation National Symphony Orchestra
The National Symphony Orchestra of the South African Broadcasting Corporation
was established in 1953 with the amalgamation of the three studio orchestras
of the Corporation, with the support of the City Council of Johannesburg, where
the orchestra is based. Since then the orchestra has done much to enrich the
musical life of the country, working with visiting conductors of great distinction
and doing much to promote music by contemporary South African composers. From
1987 until 1991 the National Symphony Orchestra was combined with the Performing
Arts Council Orchestra to form the National Orchestra, but has now resumed its
original identity, remaining the principal orchestra in the country.
