The MSO was founded by a group of musicians who wanted to create a professional orchestra in Malmö. The city had a long tradition of amateur music-making, but there was no professional orchestra to perform the great works of classical music. The founders of the MSO were determined to change that, and they worked tirelessly to recruit the best musicians from around the world. Over the years, the MSO has had many talented musicians in its ranks.

The orchestra has performed with some of the most renowned soloists in the world, including pianist Martha Argerich, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and violinist Itzhak Perlman. The orchestra has also performed at some of the most prestigious venues in the world, including Carnegie Hall in New York City and the Royal Albert Hall in London. One of the highlights of the MSO's history was its performance at the Nobel Prize ceremony in 1994. The orchestra performed the world premiere of a piece by Swedish composer Anders Hillborg, which was commissioned for the occasion. The performance was a great success, and it helped to cement the MSO's reputation as one of the finest orchestras in the world. The MSO has also won many awards over the years. In 2010, the orchestra won the Gramophone Award for Best Orchestral Recording for its recording of the music of Swedish composer Allan Pettersson.
