Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich

We are the . Classical music is our passion, and has been since 1868.

Klassische Musik ist die Leidenschaft des Tonhalle-Orchesters Zürich – und das schon seit 1868. Wenn es mit Paavo Järvi spielt, entsteht eine besondere Energie, weil kein Konzert wie das vorherige ist. Die Musiker*innen lieben die vielfältigen Impulse von Gastdirigent*innen. Sie freuen sich, von international gefeierten Solist*innen herausgefordert zu werden. Gemeinsam entdeckt das Tonhalle-Orches

ter Zürich die Musik von Mozart bis Messiaen neu. Zusammen mit dem Publikum bleibt es neugierig auf unbekannte Meisterwerke und Auftragskompositionen. Gegründet von Zürcher*innen, trägt es sein musikalisches Zuhause im Namen und seinen exzellenten Ruf auf Tourneen und preisgekrönten CD-Einspielungen in die Welt hinaus.

According to reviewer Edward Seckerson their recording of Mahler 1 is “one of the best – perhaps even the best…”
