Musicians of the hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt

Founded in 1929 as one of the first radio symphony orchestras in Germany, the Frankfurt Radio Symphony (hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt) today successfully negotiates the challenges of a modern top-ranking orchestra.
Famed for its outstanding wind section, its powerful strings and its dynamic playing culture, the orchestra of the Hessischer Rundfunk (German Public Radio of Hesse) together with its Music Director Alain Altinoglu is associated with musical excellence but also with an interesting and varied repertoire.
With innovative concert formats, internationally successful digital offerings and CD productions, as well as its constant presence in important music centers in Europe and Asia, the Frankfurt Radio Symphony underlines its prominent position within the European orchestral landscape and has an outstanding reputation worldwide.

The Frankfurt Radio Symphony is convinced that every part of society carries the responsibility to make a liveable future possible by making improvements to its sustainability practices and is therefore very proud to be a member of the Orchestra of Change. As part of a media company, the orchestra strives to give climate and environmental concerns as big a platform as possible and to signal to its audience the importance of these topics. At the same time, the orchestra is dedicated to improving its engagement with resources at every opportunity, whether on tour or at home in Frankfurt am Main.
