Dresden Philharmonie The founding of the Dresden Philharmonie in 1870 coincided with the official opening of the city's first civic concert hall, the Gewerbehaussaal. The orchestra's roots date back almost 600 years to the first civic music ensemble, the Ratsmusik, which came into being outside the influ- ence of the court or nobility and flourished far into the 19th Century. Major composers such as Johannes Brahms, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Antonln Dvorak, and Richard Strauss came to Dresden to conduct their own works. Starting in 1885 the Gewerbehaus orchester regularly performed Philhar monie concerts, which in 1915 led to the name Dresden Philharmonie. In 1909 it was one of the first German orchestras to tour in the United States. To this day it suc- cessfully performs on the major music stages of Europe, North and South America, and Asia. The orchestra gained worldwide fame in the 1930s, with much credit going to the lead ership of Paul van Kempen and Carl Schuricht. The performance of all the Bruckner symphonies in their original ver- sions created a particular reputation for the "Bruckner orchestra." The great conductors of the time appeared in concert with the Philharmonie, including Hermann Abend- roth, Fritz Busch, Eugen Jochum, Joseph Keilberth, Erich Kleiber, Hans Knapperts- busch, Franz Konwitschny, and Arthur Nikisch. Since 1945 the principal conductors have included Heinz Bongartz, Kurt Masur, Marek Janowski, and Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, among others. These musical col- laborations have been documented on numerous prominent recordings. Michael Sanderling's tenure as principal con- ductor of the Dresden Philharmonie began with the 2011-12 season.
