Shanghai Symphony Orchestra
Founded in 1879, the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra (Chinese: 上海交响乐团) is China's oldest symphony orchestra.
The SSO has built bridges in recent years between East and West, not least through international touring and its Shanghai Orchestra Academy, a joint initiative between the orchestra, the Shanghai Conservatory of Music and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Maestro Long Yu became Music Director of the SSO in 2009.
SSO has become increasingly influential both at home and abroad, after most recently completing the audio and video recordings of such excellent music as: Zhu Jian’er’s Symphonies, Tan Dun’s multimedia concerto The Map, and music for the prize-winning film (Oscar and Grammy Awards) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The SSO signed to Deutsche Grammophon in 2018 and have since released two studio recordings featuring Maxim Vengerov, Michelle DeYoung, Brian Jagde, Zhang Liping and Shenyang.
