Orchestre national de France

About

The Orchestre National de France (French pronunciation: [ɔʁkɛstʁ nɑsjɔnal də fʁɑ̃s]; transl. National Orchestra of France; abbr. ONF) is a French symphony orchestra based in Paris, founded in 1934. Placed under the administration of the French national radio (named Radio France since 1975), the ONF performs mainly in the Grand Auditorium at the Maison de la Radio et de la Musique (formerly known as Maison de la Radio) from where all its concerts are broadcast. Some concerts are also held in the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, which was the previous main venue of the orchestra before the Auditorium was built.
