Originally formed in 1882, the ensemble has undergone various transformations and renaissances, embodying the rich cultural tapestry of St. Petersburg. As the Imperial Music Choir, it began with exclusive performances for the court of Alexander III of Russia, then evolved into a public entity, the State Philharmonic Orchestra of Petrograd, in the early 20th century. With each iteration, it has upheld the utmost standards of musicianship and artistry.

The orchestra aptly delivers the romantic complexity of 'Brahms: Symphony No. 2 in D Major & Hungarian Dances,' the emotional depth of 'Rachmaninoff: Orchestral Works,' and the haunting beauty of 'R. Strauss: Metamorphosen, String Sextet & Daphne-Etude.' Their rendition of Tchaikovsky's masterpieces and Bruckner's profound 'Symphony No.9' reaffirms their status as a preeminent force in the classical music sphere. With their music, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra continues to enchant and educate audiences around the globe, embodying the timeless spirit of Russian musical heritage.
