Overview

The United Nations Orchestra, founded in 2011 by conductor Antoine Marguier, is becoming the Orchestre des Nations. The Orchestre des Nations brings together high-level amateur musicians. Originating from all continents, they all pursued musical studies before moving towards different career paths. In 2019, Orchestre des Nations became a foundation. The creation of the Orchestre des Nations Foundation will give the orchestra the means to reach its goals. The musical direction of the Orchestre des Nations will continue to be led by Antoine Marguier, and the honorary presidency will still be held by Mr Michael Møller, director general of the United Nations Office in Geneva.
