Siberian Symphony Orchestra is one of the most outstanding symphony orchestras from Russia. In 1966, the orchestra was founded by the famous Russian conductor Simon Cogan, who served as the conductor for ten years.

 

Since its inception, the orchestra has brought together music talents from the Leningrad, Novosibirsk, and Ural Conservatories, all of which are renowned and energetic professional orchestral collectives.

 

 

In 1975, the orchestra has participated in a series of festivals organized by the former Soviet Composers Association to perform contemporary Soviet music.
