BRIEF INTRODUCTION
St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra
The history of the orchestra began in 1931 when an ensemble was organized at the Leningrad Radio. Shortly after that, the ensemble grew to the level of a symphony orchestra. The orchestra, performing in the live air format and collaborating with many conductors, called for constant reinvigoration of a program and acquired flexibility in its performing manner. During the World War II Siege of Leningrad, this orchestra of Leningrad Radio was the only symphony orchestra remaining in the blockaded city. In August 1942, conducted by Karl Eliasberg, this orchestra played the historic Leningrad premiere of the Seventh Symphony by Shostakovich in the Philharmonia.
In the summer of 1953 it became the second orchestra of Leningrad Philharmonia. The orchestra gained fame in the nation as one of the best orchestras to accompany soloists, performing with Van Cliburn, Sviatoslav Richter, Emil Gilels, Yehudi Menuhin and David Oistrakh. In 1968 right after PhD studies at Leningrad conservatory, Yuri Temirkanov joined the orchestra. His activity is related to the rapid growth in repertoire and important tours.
In 1977 the orchestra was taken over by its artistic director Alexander Dmitriev. The orchestra has toured Europe, Asia, America and participated in prestigious international festivals. During the ensuing years in St. Petersburg, the orchestra presented premieres of music by Mahler, Debussy, Ravel, Scriabin, Tippet, Orff, Petrov and Slonimsky, who dedicated his Twelfth Symphony to the orchestra.
The season 2014/2015 was full of bright events. The Orchestra prepared a multimedia "Children Project", including music and cartoon for the "Arts Square" Festival. A virtual "Promenade in Hermitage" was planned on March. The famous "Verklarte Nacht" was performed to the 140th anniversary of Arnold Schoenberg, the "Love" Symphony to the 90th anniversary of Basner, "Gogol-Suite" to the 80th anniversary of Schnittke.
