ORCHESTRE PHILHARMONIQUE ROYAL DE LIEGE


LIEGE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC Daniel Weissmann, general manager | Christian Arming, music director | Founded in 1960, the Liège Royal Philharmonic (OPRL) is French-speaking Belgium’s only professional symphony orchestra. Supported by the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles (Belgium’s French-speaking Community), with the assistance of the National Lottery, and by the City of Liège and the Province of Liège, the OPRL performs in Liège and throughout Belgium, as well as in Europe’s great concert halls. Moulded by its Music Directors Fernand Quinet, Manuel Rosenthal, Paul Strauss, Pierre Bartholomée, Louis Langrée, Pascal Rophé, François-Xavier Roth and Christian Arming (since 2011), the OPRL has developed a sound identity at the crossroads of the Germanic and French traditions. It combines a determination to support new work and to promote the Franco-Belgian heritage with a recording policy that has led to more than 80 recordings of whom the Box of the 50th OPRL Birthday (CYP7650). The OPRL is also conscious of the social role it plays throughout the year, taking music to sections of the population with little or no experience of classical culture. Its seasonal programmes, moreover, involve extensive and regular cooperation with other Belgian and European orchestras and all the major players currently active on the cultural scene.
