Based in Amsterdam, the orchestra plays a pivotal role in the Dutch classical music scene, performing at the prestigious Concertgebouw and serving as one of the resident orchestras for Dutch National Opera.

Their recent releases feature a variety of composers and styles, including live recordings such as "De Raaff: Orphic Descent" and "Zemlinsky: Die Seejungfrau," tributes to the Romantic era through masterpieces by Brahms with "Symphony No. 3" and "Symphony No. 4," and forays into the modern, with "Stravinsky: The Firebird Suite" and "Stravinsky & Chopin: Concerto for Piano & Wind Instruments, K042 - Piano Concerto No. 2, OP. 21." The orchestra has also delved into the innovative with their "Sleep Music" album, and their interpretative flair shines in the reimagined "Trio Sonata in D Minor, Op. 1 No. 12, RV 63 'La follia'."
