Celibidache was succeeded by Herbert Blomstedt, who led the orchestra to continued success between 1977 and 1982.

Today the post of Music Director is held by an Englishman, Daniel Harding. His programming reflects an untrammelled attitude to tradition, often combining new and old in original constellations. And he has continued the practice of commissioning and performing new Swedish music. “I’m very proud to be the new Music Director of the Swedish Radio Symphony and to be building a lasting and committed relationship with this wonderful orchestra,” says Harding. Looking after the treasures of Swedish art music and fostering its continued growth by commissioning and playing new works is a task that the SRSO has always shouldered with pride. A notable figure in this connection is Stig Westerberg, who conducted over one hundred Swedish premières between 1958 and 1983. Touring is an important part of the orchestra’s activities. In 2003 the SRSO took part in the BBC Proms in London. In 2004 it played in Vienna’s Musikverein at the Easter Festival, while 2005 saw performances at Saint Petersburg’s White Nights Festival as well as a major tour through Spain. Last year SRSO was the first ever Swedish orchestra to visit Abu Dhabi and in January this year they made a successful appearance with Daniel Harding at the Canary Islands Music Festival. The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra is well-represented on CD. A recently initiated partnership with Deutsche Grammophon has already resulted in recordings with Esa-Pekka Salonen, Hélène Grimaud, Hilary Hahn and others. The tickets are on hot selling now !
