Ural Philharmonic Orchestra

**Ural Philharmonic Orchestra**

Hailing from Yekaterinburg, Russia, the Ural Philharmonic Orchestra has been a powerhouse of Russian classical music since its founding in 1936. Known for its rich, dynamic sound, the ensemble has built a reputation for breathing fresh life into works by iconic composers like Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, and Rachmaninov. Under the baton of longtime music director Dmitry Liss, the orchestra balances precision with emotional intensity, whether tackling the fiery drama of Prokofiev or the intricate textures of Stravinsky’s *Petrushka*. You’ll often find them performing at the acoustically stunning Sverdlovsk Philharmonic Hall, a hub for classical music in the Urals region.

Their recent releases, including live recordings of Shostakovich’s *Symphony No. 15* and Rachmaninov’s *Symphony No. 3*, showcase their knack for capturing the raw energy of Russian masterpieces. From melancholic waltzes to thunderous symphonic climaxes, the Ural Philharmonic delivers performances that feel both timeless and urgently present—a testament to their deep connection to this repertoire.
