Orchestre de la Suisse Romande

The Orchestre de la Suisse Romande (OSR)[1] is a Swiss symphony orchestra, based in Geneva at the Victoria Hall.

In addition to symphony concerts, the OSR performs as the opera orchestra in productions at the Grand Théâtre de Genève.

Ernest Ansermet founded the OSR in 1918, together with Paul Lachenal,[2] with a contingent of 48 players and a season of six months' duration.

[9] Following the announcement of Janowski's scheduled 2012 departure, attempts to secure Bertrand de Billy[10] and Kazuki Yamada[11] as the OSR's next artistic leader did not come to fruition.

In 2023, Pierluigi Christophe Orunesu's company Cyber'Art developed the icologram initiative, a digital startup enabling virtual artist presence, and collaborated with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande to record the first holographic symphonic performance presented at Artgenève 2024.
