Staatsorchester Rheinische Philharmonie

However, when the French revolutionary troops occupied Koblenz in 1794, the Elector fled, and the court and the band were dissolved.

The loss of court and church music affected the citizens of Koblenz, as there had been public concerts and opera performances since 1760.

The philharmonic tradition was only institutionalized again with the founding of the Music Institute in 1808 by the Koblenz lawyer and musician Joseph Andreas Anschuez.

The institute's most prominent music director from 1865 to 1866 was Max Bruch, who composed his famous Violin Concerto No.

After the end of the World War II, in August 1945, the editor of the Mittelrhein-Kurier, Anton Tilmann Veit from Bad Ems, placed advertisements: he was looking for a conductor and 54 musicians for a philharmonic orchestra.

The orchestra's new name implies that Veit's plans were to provide the entire Rhineland with radio broadcasts across zones.

After the suspension A.T. Veits due to conflicts of interest with the French occupation and the subsequent shift in focus of Südwestfunk, which had taken over the Koblenz studio, the orchestra no longer had an employer.

In 1955, the Rheinische Philharmonie became a registered association and has since received continuous support from the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Since 1985, the rehearsal room and thus the headquarters of the orchestra has been the historic Görreshaus, named after Joseph Görres.
