Founded in 1925, the Malmö Symphony Orchestra (MSO) is one of the leading major orchestras in Sweden. Performing the full breadth of the symphonic repertoire, the MSO collaborates with prominent international conductors and soloists, including its current chief conductor Marc Soustrot. Since 2015 the MSO has resided in Malmö Live Concert Hall, a truly state-of-theart facility known for its world-class acoustics.
The MSO has won critical acclaim for its numerous recordings with leading record labels, including first prizes in competitions such as the Cannes Classical Award and the Diapason d’Or. Their recording of Franz Berwald’s symphonies, under the direction of Sixten Ehrling, was nominated for a Gramophone Award. Their recordings of Franz Schmidt’s symphonies with former chief conductor Vassily Sinaisky have been praised by Gramophone and BBC Music Magazine. Together with chief conductor Marc Soustrot, the orchestra has made extensive efforts to record all of Camille Saint-Saëns’ orchestral works and continues to cultivate its growing reputation via international tours.
