Music like Orchestre de Paris

The Orchestre de Paris (French pronunciation: ​[ɔʁkɛstʁ də paʁi]) is a French orchestra based in Paris. The orchestra currently performs most of its concerts at the Philharmonie de Paris.

In 1967, following the dissolution of the Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire, the French Minister of Culture, André Malraux, and his director of music, Marcel Landowski, engaged conductor Charles Munch to create a new orchestra in Paris. Soon after its creation, Munch died in 1968, and Herbert von Karajan was hired as an interim music advisor from 1969 to 1971. Successive music directors include Sir Georg Solti, Daniel Barenboim, and Semyon Bychkov. Christoph von Dohnányi served as artistic advisor from 1998 to 2000.
