Founded in 1949, the orchestra has become one of the most respected and acclaimed orchestras in the world, known for its exceptional musicianship and innovative programming. The BRSO was founded by Eugen Jochum, a renowned conductor who had previously led the Berlin Philharmonic and the Dresden State Opera. Jochum was appointed as the first chief conductor of the BRSO, and he quickly set about building the orchestra into a world-class ensemble. Under his leadership, the BRSO quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional musicianship and innovative programming, and it soon became one of the most sought-after orchestras in Europe. Over the years, the BRSO has been led by a number of distinguished conductors, including Rafael Kubelik, Sir Colin Davis, and Mariss Jansons. Each of these conductors has brought their own unique vision and style to the orchestra, helping to shape its sound and reputation. Today, the BRSO is led by chief conductor Sir Simon Rattle, who took over the position in 2020. Rattle is one of the most respected and acclaimed conductors in the world, and his appointment was seen as a major coup for the BRSO. Under his leadership, the orchestra has continued to push the boundaries of classical music, exploring new repertoire and collaborating with some of the world's most innovative composers and performers. The BRSO is made up of some of the most talented musicians in the world, many of whom have won numerous awards and accolades for their performances.

One of the highlights of the BRSO's history was its performance at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. The orchestra was chosen to perform at the opening ceremony of the games, and its performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 was seen as a powerful symbol of peace and unity in the wake of the tragedy that had occurred just days earlier. In addition to its many performances, the BRSO has also won numerous awards and accolades over the years. In 2016, the orchestra was awarded the Gramophone Orchestra of the Year award, one of the most prestigious awards in classical music.
