International interest in our orchestra received a major boost in the past year. A number of new relationships with top international venues mean the start this season of an extensive calendar of tours by the orchestra. Thanks to our musicians, who time and again deliver top performances and leave our foreign audiences spellbound. We are proud this season to be able not only to continue our performances in Paris, but also to discover China and to appear on the stage of the Grosses Festspielhaus in Salzburg.
