Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz

Founded in the wake of the First World War, the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz set on its first-ever concert tour in 1920. It marked the start of a rich musical tradition that now spans over a century of history.

As a touring orchestra without a permanent home, Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz's core mission has largely remained anchored in the same values. With over 160 concerts each season, the orchestra and chief conductor Michael Francis work to bring the gift of classical music to audiences across Rheinland-Pfalz - and far beyond. Thanks to guest performances, collaborations with renowned conductors and soloists, and international engagements, the orchestra has cemented its reputation.

Committed to inspiring future generations, the orchestra also offers a diverse range of educational and family programs. Regular recordings for SWR and Deutschlandfunk Kultur, along with an extensive catalog of CD productions, ensure their work is heard far and wide. Today, the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz stands as a precious cultural beacon shaping the future of classical music in the region and beyond.
