History
The flexibility of choice in music genres was the cornerstone of the joint-projects which involved outstanding Romanian artists such as the soprano Angela Gheorghiu, the violinist Corina Belcea, Teodor Ilincai, Tina Munteanu, Smiley, Elena Gheorghe, Cristina Rus, Nico, Vlad Miriţă, Ovidiu Lipan "Țăndărică", Aurelian Temisan, Oana Sarbu, Maria Jinga, Iordache Basalic and Transsylvania Phoenix. The latter brought together the band Phoenix for the SYMPhoenix project.
Under the artistic direction of Benoît Fromanger, the Bucharest Symphony Orchestra has a permanent, foreign music director and principal conductor.
Between 2006-2012, Bucharest Symphony Orchestra performed in concert halls such as the Romanian Athenaeum, National Theatre Bucharest, Romanian National Opera and Sala Palatului.
The 14 edition of Rencontres de Calenzana 2012 brought Bucharest Symphony Orchestra as guest invitee.
