EIAR Symphony Orchestra Turin, also known as the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai, is a classical music ensemble based in Turin, Italy. The orchestra was founded in 1931 by the Italian national broadcasting company, EIAR (Ente Italiano per le Audizioni Radiofoniche), which later became RAI (Radiotelevisione Italiana). The orchestra's founding conductor was the renowned Italian composer and conductor, Arturo Toscanini. Under his leadership, the orchestra quickly gained a reputation for excellence and became one of the leading orchestras in Italy. Toscanini remained the orchestra's principal conductor until 1937, when he left to pursue other opportunities. Over the years, the orchestra has been led by many distinguished conductors, including Mario Rossi, Sergiu Celibidache, Lorin Maazel, and Gianandrea Noseda. Each conductor has brought their own unique style and interpretation to the orchestra, helping to shape its sound and reputation. The orchestra's main members are its musicians, who are some of the finest in Italy and the world. Many of the musicians have been with the orchestra for years, and their dedication and skill have helped to maintain the orchestra's high standards of performance. The EIAR Symphony Orchestra Turin has performed in many of the world's most prestigious concert halls, including Carnegie Hall in New York, the Royal Albert Hall in London, and the Musikverein in Vienna. The orchestra has also collaborated with many of the world's leading soloists, including pianist Martha Argerich, violinist Itzhak Perlman, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma. One of the orchestra's most notable performances was its 1953 concert at La Scala in Milan, which was conducted by Arturo Toscanini. The concert was broadcast live on television and radio, and it is still considered one of the greatest performances in the orchestra's history. The orchestra has also received many awards and accolades over the years. In 1956, it was awarded the Grand Prix du Disque for its recording of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9. In 1997, it was awarded the Premio Abbiati, Italy's most prestigious music award, for its performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 2.
