Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire was a symphony orchestra established in Paris in 1828. Administered by the philharmonic association of the Paris Conservatoire, the orchestra occupied the center-stage of French musical life throughout the 19th and most of the 20th centuries. In 1967, the orchestra was dissolved and recreated in its present guise as the Orchestre de Paris.
The chief conductors of the orchestra were:
- François-Antoine Habeneck 1828-1848
- Narcisse Girard 1849-1859
- Théophile Tilmant 1860-1863
- François George-Hainl 1863-1872
- Edouard Deldevez 1872-1885
- Jules Garcin 1885-1892
- Paul Taffanel 1892-1901
- Georges Marty 1901-1908
- André Messager 1908-1919
- Philippe Gaubert 1919-1938
- Charles Münch 1938-1946
- André Cluytens 1946-1960
No Principal Conductor was appointed during the orchestra's final years 1960-1967.
