BBC Symphony Orchestra
The heart of British music
The BBC Symphony Orchestra performs distinctive, wide-ranging concerts around the globe. Their exclusive collaboration with Spitfire Audio puts some of the world's most accomplished musicians at your fingertips.
With a performance heritage nearly a century old, it boasts Sir Adrian Boult, Arturo Toscanini and Sir Colin Davis among its historical conductors, championing new classical music and composers at the BBC Proms and beyond. Every note has been expertly sampled at Maida Vale Studios, a world-class recording space with a rich musical history. Built in 1909, it was one of the BBC's earliest premises — the centre of the BBC News operation during World War II, and the home of the BBC Symphony Orchestra since 1934.
