THE ORCHESTRA

The BBC Symphony Orchestra is one of the UKs leading orchestras. It has played a central role at the heart of British musical life for more than 90 years and has a high profile both in the UK and on the international stage. The BBC SO has an outstanding reputation for its performances of a wide range of music with particular emphasis on 20th century and contemporary music; each year giving the world premieres of a number of works commissioned by BBC Radio 3.

As the flagship orchestra of the BBC the BBC SO makes at least a dozen appearances each year at the BBC Proms including the First and Last Nights. All BBC SO concerts are broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and a number are televised giving it the highest broadcast profile of any UK orchestra.

The BBC SO gives frequent performances under its present Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo performing regularly with a wide range of other international conductors and soloists. The BBC SO is Associate Orchestra of the Barbican in London and performs an annual concert season there of up to 25 concerts including a number of concerts and events focusing on a single composer. Recent seasons have also seen the BBC SO embark upon a series of critically acclaimed performances of opera in concert. The BBC SO performs at a number of music festivals both in the UK and abroad and undertakes regular major overseas tours.

Studio recordings play an important role in the Orchestras life both for BBC Radio 3 and for commercial recording companies whilst a strong commitment to community and outreach work involves the Orchestra in a number of adventurous learning projects working with schools and members of the local community .

The Orchestra is looking forward to moving to a new purpose built studio facility at the site of the former Olympic Park in East London within the next few years.
