Orchestre symphonique de Mulhouse

The Orchestre symphonique de Mulhouse is a French symphonic orchestra composed of about sixty instrumentalists.

History

The Orchestre symphonique de Mulhouse has its origins in the small municipal orchestra founded in 1867 in the alsacian city. In 1972, it became the Orchestre Régional de Mulhouse, then, in 1979, the Orchestre Symphonique du Rhin and, finally, the Orchestre Symphonique de Mulhouse.

The hundred or so concerts it performs each year are divided between the opera season of the Opéra national du Rhin (whose services it shares with the Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg) and a symphonic season. Its concerts take place at the La Filature in Mulhouse, its residence home.
