The Brazilian Symphony Orchestra (Orquestra Sinfônica Brasileira- OSB) is a Brazilian orchestra. Founded in 1940, it is located at  Avenida Rio Branco, downtown Rio de Janeiro. It is one of the country's foremost orchestras[1]

History

The creation of OSB was an idea of three teachers of the National School of Music - Djalma Soares, Antão Soares and Antônio Leopardi. Excited by the NBC Orchestra tour of Brazil, under the direction of Arturo Toscanini,[2] they sought the maestro José Siqueira to take the initiative. With the support of corporate and political personalities and with special publicity in the newspaper O Globo, OSB emerged as a corporation in 1940. The inaugural concert was on July 11, 1940, a date chosen in honor of the composer Carlos Gomes. As their first artistic director was nominated the Hungarian conductor exiled in Brazil, Eugen Szenkar.
