The Estonian National Symphony Orchestra (Eesti Riiklik Sümfooniaorkester, ERSO) holds a venerable position as one of the foremost musical institutions in Estonia, renowned for its dedication to fostering the country's rich symphonic tradition. The ensemble had its modest beginnings in 1926 as a small radio orchestra but it has since blossomed into a full-size symphony orchestra of international acclaim. Its growth mirrors the cultural development of Estonia itself, particularly since the restoration of the country's independence in 1991.

Under the batons of esteemed conductors and through collaborations with a host of distinguished soloists, the orchestra has cultivated an impressive repertoire that spans from classical masterworks to contemporary compositions, ensuring the Estonian musical voice resonates on the world stage. Their recent releases, such as Arash Yazdani's "Propagation of Uncertainty" and Anton Rubinstein's Piano Concertos, highlight the orchestra's versatility and commitment to exposing audiences to both rarities and staples of the symphonic literature. With Neeme Järvi, one of the nation's most revered musical figures, having played a pivotal role in its ascension, the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra embodies both historical pride and forward-looking innovation in the world of classical music.
