The Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra (Hungarian: Budapesti Filharmóniai Társaság Zenekara) is the oldest Hungarian orchestra. The Budapest Philharmonic was founded in 1853 by Ferenc Erkel , following the example of the Vienna Orchestra, by a Philharmonic Society with the aim of devoting itself to Hungarian composers such as Erkel, Liszt, Goldmark, Dohnányi, Bartók, Kodály, Weiner, Kadosa and Szokolay. Pinchas Steinberg has been leading the orchestra since 2014 . The location is at the house of the Hungarian State Opera .
