Founded in 1981, the Orchestre National d'Auvergne has toured extensively in France and around the world, and has recorded more than 30 albums while faithfully assuring the classical music scene of Clermont-Ferrand and Auvergne. Today, this chamber orchestra is composed of more than twenty French and foreign musicians. Since 2021, Thomas Zehetmair is the principal conductor. Surrounded by an international artistic direction, he pursues this spirit of openness, approaching the baroque period as well as contemporary creations. It's a pleasure!
