The Swedish Chamber Orchestra, a tightly-knit ensemble of 39 players, was founded in 1995 and made its USA and UK debuts in 2004 performing at the BBC Proms and Lincoln Center. Martin Fröst is the orchestras chief conductor, talking over the baton from Thomas Dausgaard who held the post from 1997 - 2019. With Fröst the orchestra is embarking on a series of Mozart recordings for Sony Classics.
Since 2004 the Swedish Chamber Orchestra has toured regularly throughout Europe, made its debut in Japan and returned to the States and the Lincoln Center in 2008, 2013 and 2017. Other venues and festivals include the Salzburg Festspiele in 2010, the Schleswig Holstein Music Festival in 2003, 2014 and 2020, the BBC Proms in 2010 and 2018 and a Vienna Konzerthaus residency in 2019.
With its range of repertoire and styles the ensemble has established its own unique voice as the Münchner Abendendzeitung testifies: “Their acclaimed recordings of Schumann and Beethoven have made these three dozen musicians from Sweden into a top tip … In concert such miracles are sometimes a disappointment. Not so with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra at the Salzburg Festival”.
