The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1902 and Konserthuset Stockholm has been its home since 1926. The orchestra gives around 100 concerts annually and participates in the festivities associated with the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony. Noted for its ambitious programming, composer festivals with contemporary music and pioneering work on a more gender balanced repertoire, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is very much present in today’s music life. Regular guest conductors include notable names such as Riccardo Muti, Andris Nelsons, Herbert Blomstedt, Nathalie Stutzmann, Gianandrea Noseda and Conductor Laureate Alan Gilbert. Finnish Sakari Oramo has been Chief Conductor and Artistic Director of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic since 2008. 2020/21 will be his final season in this capacity. Since the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020, there has been an abundance of livestreams made available on Konserthuset Play https://www.konserthuset.se/en/play/
