The Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra (JSO), based in Jerusalem, Israel, has a rich history and has played a crucial role in Israel's cultural development. Distinguished conductors, composers, and soloists, including Igor Stravinsky, Leonard Bernstein, and Arthur Rubinstein, have collaborated with the JSO. The orchestra regularly tours Europe and the United States, performing in prestigious venues. Beyond classical concerts, the JSO strives to create a comprehensive "Sound of Jerusalem," acting as a cultural ambassador. In 2023, Lithuanian conductor and violinist Julian Rachlin became the JSO's new Chief Conductor.
