history
The Vorarlberger Funkorchester was founded in 1945 and was dissolved in 1959.
The Vorarlberg Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1984, is project-oriented. 80 percent of the permanent members of the Vorarlberg Symphony Orchestra are professional musicians from Vorarlberg and the neighboring countries of Switzerland , Liechtenstein and the German Lake Constance region . Without a fixed roster, up to ten programs are rehearsed in intensive rehearsal phases per season and performed in several concerts. Since 1990 the scenic opera productions in cooperation with the Vorarlberger Landestheater have become a fixed point in the orchestra's annual program. The orchestra has been organizing its own subscription cycles in the Festspielhaus Bregenz and Montforthaus Feldkirch with great success since 1994 . There has been a third cycle in the Bregenz Forest since 2002 .
The collaboration with internationally renowned soloists and conductors such as Heinrich Schiff , Thomas Zehetmair , Julian Rachlin , Elisabeth Leonskaja , Thomas Quasthoff , Clemens Hagen , Manfred Honeck , Kirill Petrenko , Gérard Korsten , the actor Tobias Moretti or the author Michael Köhlmeier as well as regular appearances at international Festivals ( Schubertiade , Bregenz Festival , Bregenz Spring) make the orchestra an important cultural institution.
Numerous radio recordings, three television and four CD productions also document the orchestra's diverse repertoire. In addition to works from the traditional classical-romantic orchestral repertoire, new music from the 20th and 21st centuries is regularly performed, with composers from Vorarlberg playing a particularly important role.
