Philharmonia Zürich
Biography
In existence under its present name only since 2012, the Philharmonia Zürich has a long history connected with opera in Zurich. It was formerly known as the Zurich Opera Orchestra, and it continues to perform in operatic productions. The origins of Philharmonia Zürich date back ultimately to 1834. In 2012, in recognition of its increasing activity outside the operatic sphere, the group was renamed the Philharmonia Zürich. Its conductor since then has been Fabio Luisi. The Philharmonia Zürich and Luisi released their debut album, a recording of Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique, in 2015. It released an album of symphonies by Dvořák in 2023 under its new conductor, Gianandrea Noseda.
