Founded in 1946, the orchestra has established an international reputation through extensive touring, recording projects, and broadcasting. Its musical style is characterized by a rich tonal palette and dynamic interpretations across diverse genres.

Usher Hall, the concert venue, holds significant cultural importance for the City of Edinburgh and Scotland. Opened in 1879, it was a gift to the city from Andrew Usher, a prominent Edinburgh brewer. Designed by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson, the hall is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics and ornate Victorian architecture. Throughout its history, Usher Hall has hosted a wide range of performances including orchestral concerts, choral works, recitals and popular music events. It serves as the primary concert venue for the Edinburgh International Festival and hosts many other significant musical gatherings annually. The hall underwent a major refurbishment completed in 2009 which enhanced both audience facilities and acoustic performance capabilities.
