Filharmonie Brno, also known as the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra, is a distinguished musical ensemble with deep roots in the cultural history of Brno, Czech Republic. Founded in 1956 through the merger of the Radio Orchestra and the Brno Region Symphony Orchestra, the Brno Philharmonic has gained international recognition for its dynamic performances and broad repertoire. Under the baton of various esteemed conductors and featuring talented soloists, the orchestra embraces both traditional and contemporary works, evidenced by its commitment to the classical giants as well as modern compositions.
The orchestra enjoys a robust recording schedule, which reflects its versatility and artistic excellence. The ensemble's recent releases highlight its deep affinity with Czech composers, such as the expansive works of Antonín Dvořák, captured in albums like "Dvořák: Symphony No.9 / Nocturne" and "Dvořák: Symphony No.6 / Symphonic Variations." This focus on Czech music extends to less frequently performed composers, offering listeners the chance to discover the rich musical tapestry of the region. Moreover, its "Orchestral Masters" series serves as a testament to Filharmonie Brno’s commitment to showcasing lesser-known works deserving of a wider audience. Unafraid to step into the modern era, its interpretations of twentieth-century compositions and newly commissioned pieces ensure that Filharmonie Brno remains at the forefront of the contemporary classical music scene.
