History


The orchestra was founded as "Orchester des Konzertvereins" ("Orchestra of the Concert Society"). It became the "Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Leipzig" ("Radio Symphony Orchestra Leipzig") in 1924 and later adopted its present name. The Orchestra was dissolved during World War II and reunited in 1946 under the tenure of the conductor Hermann Abendroth, later conducted by Herbert Kegel. During the late 1970s through the 1980s, the principal conductors were Wolf-Dieter Hauschild and Max Pommer.

In 1992, the Rundfunk Symphony Orchestra merged with the Radio Philharmonic in Leipzig to form the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra. Daniel Nazareth was the first Music Director of the newly formed MDR Symphony Orchestra after the German reunification. The orchestra's most recent chief conductor was Kristjan Järvi, from 2012 to 2018.[1] In November 2019, the orchestra announced the appointment of Dennis Russell Davies as its next chief conductor, effective with the 2020–2021 season, with an initial contract of 4 years.[2]

La Orquesta Sinfónica MDR es una de las orquestas radiofónicas más antiguas del mundo y la más antigua de Alemania. La MDR fue fundada el 6 de enero de 1923 en la ciudad de Leipzig sin participación alguna de la radio. La segunda orquesta radiofónica fue fundada nueve meses después en Berlín. La MDR es desde 1924 el cuerpo sonoro más grande y representante más importante del Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk. Entre los directores cuentan Hermann Abendroth (1949–1956), Herbert Kegel (1953–1977) y Fabio Luisi (1996–2007). La Orquesta Sinfónica MDR es a lado de Wolfgang Sawallisch (1970) y de Leonard Bernstein (2001) el único conjunto musical que ha tenido el honor de tocar para el Papa.
