The National Radio Orchestra is the oldest of the four orchestras (formed in 1929). The profile, repertoire and history of the National Radio Orchestra define nearly a century of creation, interpretation and distribution of music in Romania. Under the direction of composer Mihail Jora, the Radio Symphony Orchestra began public concerts in 1932. The orchestra has been honored with major national and international awards, including "Charles Cros" France, "Puerta del Sol" Uruguay, "Koussevitzky" USA.
