Bayerisches Staatsorchester

The Bayerisches Staatsorchester (Bavarian State Orchestra) is the orchestra of the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, Germany. It has given its own series of concerts, the Akademiekonzerte, since 1811. On December 9, 2011, this ensemble celebrated the 200th anniversary of its first concert as a full symphony orchestra, and specifically the founding (in 1811) of the Musikalische Akademie. Its origins stretch back, however, to 1523 and the times of composer Ludwig Senfl, when sacred music was the focus of work.
