Music and artistic directors

Although the repertoire of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande is intrinsically linked to its founder, Ernest Ansermet – who devoted his entire musical life to the ensemble, thanks to his friendships with Igor Stravinsky, Maurice Ravel and the Geneva-born composer Frank Martin – it has inevitably evolved under the various influences of its musical directors over the decades.

Browse the list below of the influential figures who shaped the history of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande.
