In 2000 the Moscow City Government founded the Moscow City Symphony Orchestra “Russian Philharmonic”. It is the first and the only Moscow City full symphony orchestra over the centuries-old history of the capital.
Since 2002 Moscow International House of Music is the orchestra’s base. During the latest seven years the orchestra gave more than 300 concerts in the House of Music only.
The orchestra regularly performs at the Grand Hall of the Moscow Conservatory and at Tchaikovsky Music Hall. Since June 2006 the orchestra is led by an outstanding violinist and conductor, People’s Artist of Russia Maxim Fedotov.
