In 1915, the Residentie Orchestra took over the summertime performances of the Kurzaal Concerts in Scheveningen from the Lamoureux Orchestra. After the Second World War , Willem van Otterloo led the orchestra as chief conducter from 1949 to 1973. Succeeding Van Otterloo as chief conductors were Jean Martinon , Ferdinand Leitner , Hans Vonk , Evgenii Svetlanov , Jaap Van Zweden , and most recently Neeme Järvi . The orchestra has undertaken several major tours and included cities such as New York , Boston , Chicago , Vienna , Munich and Berlin . It has performed under guest conductors including Leonard Bernstein , Pierre Boulez , Hans Knappertsbusch , Arturo Toscanini , and Bruno Walter . After the Arts and Sciences Building The Hague burned down in 1967, the orchestra settled in a new residence in September 1987 after a fundraising campaign. The Dr. Anton Phillipszaal was formally opened in the presence of Queen Beatrix . EXTERNAL LINKS |
