The founding of today’s Brandenburg State Orchestra (BSOF) dates back to 1842. With 86 musicians, it is the largest symphony orchestra in the state of Brandenburg and sees its role as the region’s official musical ambassador. The principle conductor and the artistic director is General Music Director Howard Griffiths and the intendant is Peter Sauerbaum. In addition to concerts in its hometown of Frankfurt (Oder), the orchestra is heard throughout Brandenburg; it performs all over Germany, as well as internationally. As a consequence of the BSOF’s particular location on the border of Poland, collaborating with its eastern neighbor is of exceptional importance. The orchestra is especially committed to supporting and sponsoring young artists. Since 2010 the BSOF has, among its other activities, accompanied the annual children’s opera at the Bayreuth Festival.
