Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra of Moscow Radio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra of Moscow Radio is one of the most prestigious orchestras in Russia. It was founded in 1930 as the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra, providing music for the entire radio network of the USSR. In 1993, after the dissolution of the USSR, the orchestra was given its current name in recognition of the central role the music of Tchaikovsky plays in its repertoire.
The current music director is Vladimir Fedoseyev, who has been in that position since 1974.
During Soviet times, the orchestra was sometimes known as the USSR State Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra, the USSR State Radio Symphony Orchestra, or the Symphony Orchestra of All-Union Radio and Television.
