Varna Philharmonic Orchestra
The Ruse Philharmonic Orchestra (Bulgarian: Русенска филхармония), also rendered as the Rousse Philharmonic Orchestra, is a Bulgarian symphony orchestra based in Ruse. Founded as a state orchestra in 1948, it was an independent state philharmonic institution until 1999, when it merged with the Ruse State Opera into the Opera and Philharmonic Society – Ruse. Since 2010 the orchestra has formed part of Ruse State Opera, while continuing to appear in symphonic programmes under the name Ruse Philharmonic Orchestra.
The orchestra is associated with the development of symphonic culture in Bulgaria, the founding and history of the March Music Days international festival in Ruse, and a repertoire including classical, contemporary, opera-symphonic and cantata-oratorio works.
