The Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the foremost and oldest symphony orchestras in the Czech Republic. It is based in the city of Olomouc in the historical province of Moravia, and has been a leader of musical activities in the region for the past 70 years.
Its artistic development has been directly influenced by distinguished figures from the Czech and international music scenes, including conductors such as Otto Klemperer and Václav Neumann, violinists Josef Suk and Gidon Kremer and cellist Pierre Fournier.
During the course of its long history, the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra has amassed an exceptionally broad, rich and varied repertoire. Its focus is mostly on the grand figures of classical music of the 19th and 20th century. The orchestra is an authentic performer of works by distinguished Czech composers such as Antonín Dvořák, Bedřich Smetana, Leoš Janáček, Bohuslav Martinů, Vítěszlav Novák and Josef Bohuslav Foerster, among others.
