Concert organizations exist in all of the world’s cultural capitals, preserving musical traditions and themselves forming a part of worldwide musical culture. They often serve as an introduction to the cultural wealth of a country and an indicator of the variety and richness of its musical life. The Moscow Philharmonic Society is one such universally recognized concert organization, maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and carefully preserving interpretive traditions.
The concert and artistic activity of the Philharmonic fulfills a very important mission, that of presenting to the contemporary listener a wide-ranging repertoire and variety of interpretations, with a place for tradition, for folklore, for innovation, for new concepts and for great literature. It is precisely the variety and quality of musical interpretive culture that to a large extent determines a country’s overall cultural level.
Today, the Philharmonic strives to give the listener the possibility of becoming a participant in the world of music, to present the world’s most outstanding musical experiences and to support Russian musicians in realizing their creative potential. In doing so, it serves to form a musical environment that accommodates both performers and listeners.
