Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra
The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra has an enviable reputation as one of the world's great small orchestras. It has a full-time playing strength of 47 musicians, which can be augmented for specific programming purposes.
Swedish conductor Ola Rudner has recently been appointed (March 2001) as Principal Conductor and Advisor.
The Orchestra presents over 80 concerts annually in its subscription series, specials series, education program, and free outdoor events such as Symphony under the Stars. Its core repertoire is that of the classical period which it plays with stylistic flair. The TSO is also recognised for its championing of contemporary music and in the last few years has premiered many new Australian works as well as giving first Australian performances of important European works. The Orchestra also enjoys great success playing a range of jazz and popular music with such artists as Don Burrows and his Quartet, Julian Lee, and Wendy Matthews.
