HELSINGBORG SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra
Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra is one of the oldest orchestras in Sweden, founded
in 1912. It was originally of the size of a chamber orchestra but today numbers
some 51 musicians, giving some sixty concerts a year, in Helsingborg and the
southern areas of Sweden. In 1988 the orchestra undertook its first foreign
tour with a visit to Berlin, followed by tours to Poland and the then Czechoslovakia
and subsequently to the United States of America and to Spain. The German conductor
Hans-Peter Frank directed the orchestra throughout the 1980s and in 1991 Okko
Kamu was appointed chief conductor.
