history
Originally founded as the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra, it served for many years as the state radio symphony orchestra of the Soviet Union. The official name was: Great Symphony Orchestra of All Union Radio and Central Television (Russian Большой симфонический оркестр Всесоюзного радио и Центрального тениевя). At that time it was one of the most important orchestras in the Soviet Union and was shaped in particular by the conductor Gennady Roschdestwensky. Vladimir Fedoseyev has been the orchestra's director and chief conductor since 1974.
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the orchestra was renamed by the Russian Ministry of Culture in 1993 in recognition of the central role that Tchaikovsky's music plays in its repertoire.
