Orchestre symphonique de Mulhouse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Orchestre symphonique de Mulhouse is a French symphonic orchestra based in Mulhouse, in the Alsace region. Its principal venue is La Filature.

History

[edit]

The Orchestre symphonique de Mulhouse has its origins in the small municipal orchestra founded in 1867 in the Alsatian city of Mulhouse. In 1972, it became the Orchestre régional de Mulhouse. In 1979, the orchestra took the name of the Orchestre symphonique du Rhin and, finally, the Orchestre symphonique de Mulhouse. The orchestra divides its duties between its symphonic season at La Filature and opera performances at the Opéra national du Rhin (whose services it shares with the Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg).

In June 2022, Christoph Koncz first guest-conducted the orchestra. In September 2022, the orchestra announced the appointment of Koncz as its next music director, effective September 2023, with an initial contract of 3 years.[1]
