Munich Symphony Orchestra

The orchestra gives subscription concerts at the Herkulessaal and the Prinzregententheater and, to a lesser degree, at the Philharmonie am Gasteig, along with other activities statewide in Bavaria.

Following Graunke, successive chief conductors of the orchestra have been Christoph Stepp (1990−1999), Heiko Mathias Förster (1999−2006), Georg Schmöhe (2006−2013), and Kevin John Edusei[1] (2014–2022).

In December 2022, the orchestra announced the appointment of Joseph Bastian as its next chief conductor, effective with the 2023-2024 season.

It also performed the soundtrack to 1990s episodes of the TV series The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones.
