The Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra) is an internationally renowned symphony orchestra based in Hamburg. As of 2015, Kent Nagano has been General Music Director (Generalmusikdirektor) and chief conductor (Chefdirigent). The Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra also serves as the orchestra of the Hamburg State Opera. The orchestra is one of three major orchestras in Hamburg, the others being the Hamburger Symphoniker and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra.

History

[edit]

The forerunner organization, die Philharmonische Gesellschaft (The Philharmonic Society), was founded on 9 November 1828, and was led by Friedrich Wilhelm Grund.[1][2] In 1905, Gustav Mahler conducted the Hamburg premiere of his Symphony No. 5.[3]

In 1934 it merged with the Stadttheater-Orchester to become the Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg.[4] Under this name a celebrated Eighth Symphony of Anton Bruckner under Eugen Jochum in 1949 was recorded.[5]
