Slovak State Philharmonic Orchestra, Kosice

The Slovak State Philharmonic Orchestra, Košice was established in 1968 as the second professional symphonic orchestra in Slovakia. It is based in Košice, the capital of Eastern Slovakia, a city with a population of over a quarter of a million. The city is also a seat of the Constitutional Court, and has four universities, numerous research institutes, theatres, galleries and museums.

The first concert of the newly founded orchestra was given in April 1969 under the then chief conductor Bystrík Režucha. In a short time the orchestra won wide recognition among both professional and general audiences and became one of the leading representatives of Slovak music in Slovakia and abroad. The nearly ninety-strong ensemble includes professional musicians who are graduates of conservatories and famous music academies.

Great success has been achieved with concerts in many European countries and also in leading cities in Asia. The orchestra has performed at international music festivals held in important cultural centres of the world, including Vienna, Salzburg, Berlin, Budapest, Prague, Antwerp, Lisbon, Barcelona, Athens, Rheims, Hong Kong, Luxemburg, and New York. In 1994 the orchestra undertook a month-long tour of the United States, marking the first appearance of the orchestra in America.
