The Lviv National Philharmonic Orchestra of Ukraine, based in the medieval city of Lviv, was officially established on September 27, 1902. On this day, the first concert of the newly formed orchestra took place in the Philharmonic Theater of Count Stanislav Skarbko. In 1933, the orchestra became incorporated as the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Ukraine. Since the 1950s, many of the world’s greatest musicians have performed with the orchestra, including Sviatoslav Richter, Heinrich and Stanislav Neuhaus, Emil Gilels, Maria Yudina, David and Igor Oistrakh, Mstislav Rostropovich, and Gidon Kremer. Important pages in the history of the orchestra have included collaborations with famous conductors, including Kirill Kondrashin, Fuat Mansurov, Nathan Rakhlin, Gennady Rozhdestvensky, and Reinhold Gliere.
