[2] The orchestra cooperates closely with the University of Music and Theatre Leipzig and the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt, Weimar in the training of future orchestral musicians, singers and conductors.
The Leipzig Symphony Orchestra regularly hosts master classes in conducting, such as in 2011 with Vladimir Ponkin (Russia), Kenneth Kiesler (US) and Kurt Masur.
The orchestra's principal conductor in the 2018/19 season was Nicolas Krüger[3] who, however, resigned from his post already in 2019.
Chamber musical ensembles such as the string quartet, the wind quintet and the Blechbläserensemble [de] Saxonia brass complement this extensive range, which has appeared on several CDs.
The orchestra has travelled abroad to Poland, Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Mexico, Italy and South Korea.
