City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra

Orchestre symphonique de Birmingham

L'Orchestre symphonique de Birmingham (en anglais City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra - CBSO) est un orchestre symphonique britannique basé à Birmingham

Histoire

Fondé en 1920 sous le nom de City of Birmingham Orchestra, le premier concert est dirigé par Edward Elgar en septembre de la même année.

L'orchestre devient professionnel en 1944, puis adopte son nom actuel en 1948. L'orchestre a acquis une réputation internationale grâce à Simon Rattle devenu chef de l'orchestre en 1980. Ses enregistrements des symphonies de Jean Sibelius et Gustav Mahler ont été acclamés. Pendant cette période, l'orchestre a quitté le Birmingham Town Hall pour le Symphony Hall.

En 1998, le finlandais Sakari Oramo a succédé à Simon Rattle, appelé à diriger le prestigieux Orchestre philharmonique de Berlin. Oramo quittera son poste en 2008, remplacé par le chef letton Andris Nelsons.
