History

The Orchestre National de Mulhouse has its origins in the small municipal orchestra founded in 1867 in the Alsatian city of Mulhouse. In 1972, it became the Orchestre régional de Mulhouse. In 1979, the orchestra took the name of the Orchestre symphonique du Rhin and, finally, the Orchestre symphonique de Mulhouse. In July 2024, the orchestra was awarded the label "Orchestre national en région" by the French Ministry of Culture. Its name was hence officially changed to Orchestre National de Mulhouse in January 2025. The orchestra divides its duties between its symphonic season at La Filature and opera performances at the Opéra national du Rhin.
In June 2022, Christoph Koncz first guest-conducted the orchestra. In September 2022, the orchestra announced the appointment of Koncz as its next music director, effective September 2023, with an initial contract of 3 years.
