In the page's words:

The Hamburg Symphony Orchestra, which will celebrate its 65th anniversary in the fall of 2022, has been the resident orchestra of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg's first concert hall, the Laeiszhalle, since 2017. They are taking the uniquely rich and engaging history of this renowned concert venue into new spheres.

With the self-image of a living cultural institution, the Laeiszhalle Orchestra relies on the tradition of musical excellence and the potential of an updated role model for modern symphony orchestras. With success: for two decades in particular, the "Symphoniker Hamburg - Laeiszhalle Orchester" has enjoyed considerable popularity, far beyond the borders of its home city. The orchestra was also instrumental in the conception of new national funding programs for the German orchestral landscape.

The Hamburg Symphony Orchestra sees itself as a thinking orchestra and programs its pointed, demanding and always accessible repertoire with particular care. With its innovative projects, which have been enthusiastically received by audiences and critics alike - and together with many of the most important musical personalities of our time - the orchestra also organizes chamber music series, festivals (the annual Martha Argerich Festival at the end of June) and an unusually wide-ranging educational program in addition to several subscription series.

An important aesthetic approach of the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra aims to expand the concert experience by establishing a fruitful exchange with other arts and integrating theater, film, video and light art into the concert events. The orchestra was also one of the first in the world to stream live on the internet.

Chief conductor of the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra since 2018 has been Sylvain Cambreling - one of the most renowned conductors of our time, who has received the greatest recognition for decades for his rousing, imaginative and colorful performances. His precise and unaffected musical style is inextricably linked with many of the most important world premieres of contemporary music and contemporary music theater. The collaboration with Sylvain Cambreling opens up new perspectives for the orchestra: his artistic integrity beautifully builds a bridge to the era of the former chief conductor Sir Jeffrey Tate, who decisively shaped the warm and woody sound of the Laeiszhalle Orchestra.
