Russian Philharmonic (of Novosibirsk)
Novosibirsk Philharmonic orchestra was founded in 1956. Its founder, Arnold Kats had been the head of the collective for more than half a century. Under the leadership of maestro Kats the orchestra lived through a great career, and according to the feedback of the national and foreign musicians, managed to take the leading place in the hierarchy of the Russian symphony orchestras.
There is no sense to enumerate the prestigious venues and a great number of festivals in which the orchestra has been performing and participating for 60 years. The same can be said about the repertoire, covering an endless field of the symphony music – from Bach scores to the modern compositions of the XXI century.
