Orchestra Victoria

An Australian orchestra which has been using this name since 2001, when it became independent. But in 2014, the orchestra became a wholly owned subsidiary of The Australian Ballet. [a4724576] has been its Artistic Director since that time. The orchestra was originally formed as [a=The Elizabethan Trust Melbourne Orchestra] in 1967, when The Elizabethan Trust Orchestra (based in Sydney) was divided between Sydney and Melbourne (The Sydney ensemble was [a=The Elizabethan Sydney Orchestra]). In 1986, ownership of the Orchestra was transferred to the Victorian Arts Centre, and its name was changed to the [a=State Orchestra of Victoria], and then, upon becoming independent in 2001, [a=Orchestra Victoria]. However, variations on the original name (The Elizabethan Trust Melbourne Orchestra) have continued to appear on new releases.
