Since 2015 the MSO has resided in Malmö Live Concert Hall, a truly state-of-the-art facility known for its world-class acoustics. The MSO has won critical acclaim for its numerous recordings with leading record labels, including first prizes in competitions such as the Cannes Classical Award and the Diapason d’Or. Together with conductor Marc Soustrot, the orchestra has made extensive efforts to record all of Camille Saint-Saëns’ orchestral works.
