Association of Friends of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande

To share a passion for music and support the growth of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande: this is the mission of the Association des Amis de l’OSR, which has been working for over 90 years to support this iconic Swiss cultural institution.
 
The commitment of the Friends of the OSR is reflected in numerous initiatives designed to strengthen the bond between music lovers and their symphony orchestra, with a particular focus on raising awareness and fostering loyalty among younger generations. Thanks to an instrument fund established in 2021, the Friends of the OSR are helping to enhance the orchestra’s quality by providing access to string instruments of the very highest standard.
 
Joining the Friends of the OSR brings numerous benefits: access to dress rehearsals for subscription concerts, priority booking for season tickets or individual concert tickets, lectures, tours of iconic musical venues, invitations to various events and musical trips, meetings with the musicians, and many other privileges that often make all the difference to music lovers.
 
But beyond these benefits, our association offers you the immense satisfaction of playing an active role in supporting this remarkable orchestra, of experiencing moments of intense musical emotion, and of upholding the values of excellence and sharing that the OSR has embodied since its foundation by Ernest Ansermet.
 
Following the merger of the Friends of the OSR in Geneva and Vaud in 2025, the AOSR now forms a single, more effective organization with 3,100 members. A unique collective force in French-speaking Switzerland, dedicated to our love of music and its enduring legacy across time and generations
