The Norrköping Symphony Orchestra (SON) was founded in 1912, and is today a full-sized symphony orchestra of 87 members. One of Sweden's seven professional orchestras, it is regarded as one of the most exciting in Scandinavia, and has given numerous world première performances. The orchestra has also collaborated frequently with jazz musicians, rock groups, folk fiddlers, dancers and actors. Among its chief conductors have been Heinz Freudenthal (1936-52), Herbert Blomstedt (1954-62), Everett Lee (1962-72), Franz Welser-Möst (1986-91; honorary conductor since 1996), Jun'ichi Hirokami (1991-96), Ole Kristian Ruud (1996-99) and Lü Jia (since 1999). Among the principal guest conductors are Leif Segerstam (1995-97) and Daniel Harding (since 1997); other renowned guest conductors who have appeared regularly with the orchestra include Andrew Litton, James Judd, Roy Goodman, Sixten Ehrling, Okko Kamu, Paavo Järvi, Joseph Swensen and Yuzo Toyama. The Norrköping Symphony Orchestra often performs at the Stockholm Concert Hall, has played twice at the Linz Bruckner Festival (in 1991 with Orff's Carmina Burana to an audience of 100,000 people on the banks of the River Danube) and has toured Japan (1994). Since 1994 the orchestra has been based in a new concert hall in Norrköping, built especially to the orchestra's requirements.
