Tchaikovsky Big Symphony Orchestra (TSO) was founded in 1930 as the All-Union Radio Symphony Orchestra, and renamed after the reorganization of Moscow Radio and Television. Alexander Orlov, who became the orchestra’s first leader in 1930, formed its wide and diverse repertoir.

From 1937 to 1953, the TSO was led by Nikolai Golovanov, whose powerful artistic individuality formed the orchestra style of performance as interpreter of romantic music and Russian classics.

Alexander Gauk became Golovanov’s successor and was the very first to arrange performance of Gustav Mahler's and Richard Strauss'es great compositions.

During the period from 1961 to 1974, Gennady Rozhdestvensky led the orchestra and enriched its repertoire with the music of the XX century.

Bright pages of the orchestra’s history are illustrated by performances of great modern musicians, among which were such foremost conductors as L.Stokovsky, G.Sebastian, H.Abendrot, K.Zekki, K.Sanderling, L.Maasel, K.Mazur, K.Penderetsky, E.Mravisnky, B.Khaikin, R.Barshai, V.Gerigiev, soloists David Oistrakh, L.Kogan, S.Rikhter, E.Gilels, I.Arkhipova, I.Kozlovsky, V.Tretiakov, Y.Bashmet, G.Kremer, M.Maisky, O.Maisenberg and many others.

Since 1974, Vladimir Fedoseev has been the TSO’s Artistic leader and Chief Conductor. For 27 years of his work with the orchestra, V.Fedoseev has developed its best traditions established by his predecessors. Vladimir Fedoseev’s interpretations are distinguished by their depth, sincere artistic character and unique emotional intensity. He feels the national character of the performed music, penetrating to the depth of the composer concept, reviving the composer's style. Vladimir Fedoseev managed to form a special melodious emotional style of the orchestra, which distinguished it from others and made it famous around the world.

In 1993, the Orchestra was named after Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky by the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation.

In 1997, Vladimir Fedoseev, still leading Tchaikovsky State Symphony Orchestra, became the principal conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Maestro arranged opera performances at foremost theatres in Vienna, Zurich, Florence, Milan La Scala, Venice La Fenicce, opera festival in Bregenz. Vladimir Fedoseev became the first ever guest conductor to Tokyo Philharmonic orchestra.

TSO is frequently invited to prestigious European festivals; the orchestra often tours over Austria, Germany, Switzerland, other European countries and Japan. The TSO has performed at the best concert halls of the world, at the most significant Russian and European international festivals, among which there are Beethoven’s Festival in Bonn, International Bruckner Festival in Linz, Klang Bogen in Vienna, festivals in Bregenz, Salzburg, I.Menukhin’s Festival in Gstaad.
