The Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg is Hamburg's largest and oldest orchestra. Its roots go back to 9 November 1828, when the Philharmonische Gesellschaft was founded as an association for winter concerts. Artists including Clara Schumann, Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Gustav Mahler, Prokofiev, and Stravinsky performed with or conducted the ensemble. In 1934 the Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orchestra of the Hamburg Municipal Theatre merged to form the Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg. The orchestra inaugurated the Laeiszhalle in 1908 and today plays at virtually every opera and ballet performance at the Hamburg State Opera alongside its own Philharmonic concert series. On 3 August 2026, the Michael Otto Stiftung announced a partnership of one million euros to support the orchestra across the 2026/27 to 2028/29 seasons.
