Join us and ensure the highest musical quality - support the Royal Swedish Orchestra
What does the project entail?
The Royal Swedish Orchestra is one of the oldest orchestras in the world. They have played concerts and accompanied opera and ballet to live audiences for almost 500 years. The orchestra was formed in 1526 as the King Gustav Vasa Royal Orchestra. Today, it consists of 105 musicians from 11 countries. The Royal Swedish Orchestra is an active orchestra with some 250 performances every year. In order for its members to continue to deliver the highest possible quality, they need access to the very best instruments.
