Tchaikovsky State Academic Big Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1930 as the All-Union Radio Symphony Orchestra, and renamed after the reorganization of Moscow Radio and Television.

Sanderling, L. Maasel, K. Mazur, K. Penderetsky, E. Mravisnky, and many others. Since 1974, Vladimir Fedoseev has been the Orchestra's Artistic leader and Chief Conductor.
