Orchestre De Paris

Although it does not have the long history of other European orchestras, the Orchestre de Paris has attracted top talent and played a major role in the cultural life of the French capital since its founding in 1967. The orchestra also has an associated choir, the Chœur de l'Orchestre de Paris, that was established in 1976 and has been highly regarded. The recording catalog of the Orchestre de Paris, much of it on major labels such as Deutsche Grammophon and Decca, dates back to the LP era. In 2025, the group, under new conductor Klaus Mäkelä, released the album Berlioz, Ravel.
