Malmö Symphony Orchestra

The Malmö Symphony Orchestra is one of Sweden’s leading symphony orchestras. Performing at a high international level with a broad classical and contemporary repertoire, the orchestra also collaborates with prominent composers on new commissions. In recent years, the repertoire has expanded under their renowned former principal conductors Vassily Sinaisky, Marc Soustrot, and Robert Trevino. Since 2019, Sweden’s internationally acclaimed trumpeter Håkan Hardenberger has been the Honorary Artist of the Malmö Symphony Orchestra and a leading representative for contemporary music. The Malmö Symphony Orchestra has won critical acclaim from Gramophone, BBC Music Magazine and The New York Times for its numerous recordings with leading record labels, including distinctions such as the Cannes Classical Award and Diapason d’Or.

Over the years, many successful international tours have been undertaken, including performances at the Semperoper Dresden, Concertgebouw Amsterdam and the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, among others.

The Malmö Live concert hall, with its world-class acoustics, has put Malmö on the musical map of Europe and attracted leading orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, London Symphony Orchestra and Gewandhausorchester Leipzig. In 2025, the Malmö Symphony Orchestra will celebrate its 100th anniversary.
