Osaka Symphony Orchestra

Osaka Symphony Orchestra（OSO）, was originally founded as “Osaka Symphoniker” in 1980, and invited KOIZUMI Hiroshi as the initial Music Director and Permanent Conductor. Upon the launch of the orchestra, SHIKISHIMA Hiroko, our Honorary Founding President, raised the motto “Play music that satisfies both the audience and the musicians alike!”. Since then, the orchestra’s performance, which always enthusiastically moves the audience, has been acclaimed as “exclamation from the soul” and “sound of passion”.
