26 сентября 2013
The orchestra's European tour will start in Minsk. The orchestra is even older than the Philharmonic Society. For 12 years it has been conducted by Alexander Anisimov who started his Belarusian career at the Bolshoi Theater.

The orchestra's performances have always been sold out in Belarus and abroad: in Europe, Saudi Arabia, Japan. Its repertoire consists of Belarusian music from Churkin to Kuznetsov and Soviet classics.

The Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra continues to gather international stars of classical music in Minsk. Mikhail Pletnev, Evgeny Mravinsky, Sviatoslav Richter, Mstislav Rostropovich and Galina Vishnevskaya - this is not the whole list of celebrities who performed on stage together with the Belarusian orchestra.

The plans for the new creative year include playing symphonies by Mozart and Tchaikovsky, performing works by Anatoly Bogatyrev and taking part in the Sollertinsky festival.
