Estonian National Symphony Orchestra

[b]Estonian National Symphony Orchestra[/b] (known as [b]Eesti Riiklik Sümfooniaorkester[/b] or [b]ERSO[/b] in Estonian) is the longest continually operating professional orchestra of its kind in the country. The orchestra's history dates back to 1926 and, like that of many other world orchestras, is connected to the birth of national broadcasting.
